The answer, of course, in the mouth of a Christian teacher is that in Christianity alone is there both present joy and future hope.
I grew up the son of an acting teacher, so I was kind of introduced to all of these various methods early… I’ve never been really good at articulating how, what that process is in the way that Stanislavsky could.
I loved theatre and did magic, too, but I was never the best at it – there was never a teacher saying, ‘You’re great, you have to make this your career!’ I was good at science and math. I figured I’d go into science and become a dentist.
I’m a teacher, but I’m really a healer.
I never had a black teacher or lecturer, I never once met a black British person who held any sort of professional or managerial role.
I learned early on that ‘rabbi’ means teacher, not priest.
My mother, oddly enough, really wanted to pursue a career in law, but at the time, she had children and was working as a teacher.
Let me just share with you something. Jesus makes this quite clear: there’s never been a real teacher except One, and it’s Christ. There’s never been a real prophet: they’re all types of One greater than themselves – Christ.
I had a science teacher in middle school who inspired me… simply because she acknowledged me and made me feel that what I had to offer was worthy.
Park Bo Young was like a teacher to me. Personally, we were good friends, but at the same time, I admired her acting and learned a lot from her.
I’d like to say I was smart enough to finish six grades in five years, but I think perhaps the teacher was just glad to get rid of me.
I’d never been a teacher before, and here I was starting my first day with these eager students. There was a shortage of teachers, and they had been without a math teacher for six months. They were so excited to learn math.
When I was not a body guard, I was a substitute teacher during the day, I was bounced clubs at night and yeah, I was working.
When I graduated from high school, the teacher said I was throwing my life away following music, and the same teacher invited me back to speak at the school. I don’t say that to brag, I just want to be an example.
I do believe that when your child does poorly on a test, your first step should not necessarily be to attack the teacher or the school’s curriculum. It should be to look at the idea that, maybe, the child didn’t work hard enough.

When a music teacher that I had at school was taken ill and we had a variety show and I had to fill in – that’s when I realized I had a voice.
When I was 14 or 15, our teacher introduced us to Dickens’ ‘A Tale of Two Cities.’ It was just for entertainment – we read it aloud – and all of a sudden it became a treasure.
Once I accomplish one thing and I’m satisfied, I try something else. I may be 50 and doing something totally outside of music and acting. Maybe I’ll become a kindergarten teacher.
When you play a sax, that saxophone is irreverent. It’s noisy; it’s a trickster… you cannot hide the saxophone in your hands, so it’s a good teacher.
As places of learning, schools have a responsibility to also educate on nutrition, which we all can agree is far more important than algebra, no matter what your third-period teacher claims.
