Wonderful Quote For Education

I found the most wonderful quote that I believe describes education.

"Education is a painful continual and difficult work to be done by kindness, by watching , by warning, by precept, and by praise, but above all - by love.

John Ruskin

I have been thinking a great deal about the profession I have chosen to embark in and I can't wait. I realize all the negatives that come with the job, my husband is a teacher but I also know all the wonderful perks I get being a teacher. I am not talking about summers off or nice holiday breaks. I am talking about the ability to show children the love of learning. I see so many children who have lost the love of learning or worse yet have never been shown it. I want to be able to show it to all my students. I realize that I will not be able to reach all the students but I will give my best to ensure all my students have the opportunity to learn.
