I liked school, but I used to dread those moments when the teacher would call me up to give an oral report.

That's how I am. Steven Wright Teacher

I tend to think of a myth and then explore how it would play out if it were happening in the modern-day world. I modify all the myths I use, but I stick very closely to their structure - it is the hidden teacher in me. Rick Riordan Teacher
Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important. Bill Gates Teacher
I have long enjoyed the friendship and companionship of Republicans because I am by instinct a teacher, and I would like to teach them something. Woodrow Wilson Teacher
