Hey everyone, come share your favourite education quotes, those inspiring one-liners that spurs you on to become a teacher in the first place =D
Mine:

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. Wendell Phillips

Education is what survives when what has been learnt has been forgotten. – B. F. Skinner

Nine tenths of education is encouragement. – Anatole France

We learn...
10% of what we read
20% of what we hear
30% of what we see
50% of what we both hear and see
70% of what is discussed
80% of what we experience personally
95% of what we teach to someone else
– William Glasser
