“To succeed in school, students with mental health challenges tend to need a steady diet of positive interactions with their teachers.” Jessica Minahan
“When students who cannot do homework are placed in a situation of being judged every day on something they were unable to do, they often shut down. Learning under these conditions is difficult at best, impossible at worst.” Karine Ptak
“The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, ‘The children are now working as if I didn’t exist.’” Maria Montessori
“Most teachers understandably don’t initiate conversations with their boss about what is not going well.” Jeffrey Benson
“Do you really believe that every teacher in your building can improve?… When you believe this, you convey it. When you don’t, it shows.” Shane Safir
“The point is to prepare the kid for the road, instead of preparing the road for the kid.”

Adulthood” in The Week, March 29, 2019, https://www.pressreader.com
