Average Teacher

Famous quotes containing the words average and/or teacher:

“One cannot develop taste from what is of average quality but only from the very best.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

“At the utmost, the active-minded young man should ask of his teacher only mastery of his tools. The young man himself, the subject of education, is a certain form of energy; the object to be gained is economy of his force; the training is partly the clearing away of obstacles, partly the direct application of effort. Once acquired, the tools and models may be thrown away.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
