Students never think it can be the teacher's fault and so I thought I was stupid. I was frustrated and would come home and cry because I couldn't do it. Then we got a new teacher who made math accessible. That made all the difference and I learned that it's how you present it that makes it scary or friendly.
I was an excellent student before I left school. But I graduated early so that I could work longer hours on '90210.
A true teacher defends his students against his own personal influences.
We have the sense that medical students come to medicine with a great capacity to understand the suffering of patients. And then by the end of the third year they completely lose that ability, partly because we teach them the specialized language of medicine.
I was, am and always will be a student…, the day I stop learning, is the day I die.
I tell my students, it's not difficult to identify with somebody like yourself, somebody next door who looks like you. What's more difficult is to identify with someone you don't see, who's very far away, who's a different color, who eats a different kind of food. When you begin to do that then literature is really performing its wonders.
Nothing has happened in education until it has happened to a student.
The greatest reward for a student is not a good grade. It is the willingness of his teacher to listen to him.

Many enlightened persons are never very well known. Many are reclusive. They live in little villages in India or up in the high Himalayas in Tibet. Some have no students at all. Some have a few.
Skills training and industry-preparedness are the distinct advantages these students have. At the completion of their degree they have been trained to be biotechnology professionals.
Your backpack is a part of your identity as a student.
Communism wasn't a word that I thought of when I went to Cuba. The original Fidelistas were not Communists. They were graduate students at the university and law students. After the Fidelistas took over, they went to Washington and tried to get support from the U. S. government, which turned them down. They were in a desperate political and economic situation, so they took the offer from the Soviet Union. Communism was a matter of necessity.
In teaching, the other main problem related to type is the students’ interest. Intuitives and sensing types differ greatly in what they find interesting in any subject even if they like, that is, are interested in, the same subjects. Intuitives like the principle, the theory, the why. Sensing types like the practical application, the what and the how.
Students are often the last to know about change that is occurring in their own school system.
Whoever our students may be, whatever the subject we teach, ultimately we teach who we are.
Personally, as a student who loves words, who loves texts, I am concerned with finding something in the text from within.
Year after year students tumble along like the waters of a river. They flow away, and only the teacher is left behind, like some deeply buried rock at the bottom of the current.
Be reasonable with the students and make sure they see the logic in what we're doing.
Film students should stay as far away from film schools and film teachers as possible. The only school for the cinema is the cinema.
