Since Teacher's Day has become a world holiday, let's listen to what they think about this profession all over the world. Of course, these will be half-joking statements, however, they have become aphorisms:
Norman Rockwell.
The famous orator Socrates said that there is no more difficult thing on earth than to raise a real person.
His devoted disciple - Plato - noticed that the education of a person begins from the very birth of a person and ends only after his death.
The most famous student of Plato - the sage Aristotle (who was the mentor of the formidable Alexander the Great) - said that it is first necessary to give children knowledge, and then develop the necessary skills in them. Aristotle also asked his students to remember that in the matter of education it is important to remember three things: abilities or talents, knowledge and constant exercises.
Henri Jules Jean Geoffroy (1853-1924)
No less famous are the aphorisms about teachers written by Roman thinkers. For example, Cato liked to repeat that only the person whose deeds and words coincide can be called a true teacher, and Seneca, the most famous sage of the decline of the Roman Empire, added that the calling of a teacher is very difficult, so if the gods want to punish you, they will make you a teacher. .
Helen Allingham
Oriental sages also paid attention to the matter of upbringing and education.
Oriental aphorisms about teachers are full of subtle humor and skillful mentoring. For example, the founder of Buddhism, Prince Gautama, who became the Enlightened Buddha, said that a teacher is obliged to give his students all his knowledge, leaving nothing for himself.
Efim Cheptsov Retraining of teachers (1925).
The Chinese sage - the great Confucius, whose name is still sacred for any representative of this nation, believed that the calling of a teacher is the highest calling on Earth.
At the same time, he noted that only fools or people overburdened with knowledge do not succumb to teaching.
There are Eastern aphorisms about teachers who consider their work as a heavy duty. So, a Persian proverb is known, which sounds something like this: “If God listened to all the prayers of children, all teachers on earth would die,” while in the same Persian folklore there is another proverb according to which a strict teacher is better than a good father.
Thomas Brooks - The New Pupil, 1854, oil on canvas
Aphorisms about learning and teachers were written by the most famous thinkers and teachers. As Michel Montaigne believed, teachers need a lot of intelligence to teach children, even more than they would need if they taught themselves. Thomas Fuller, addressing teachers, pathetically exclaimed: “Having knowledge, do not skimp on the fact that children light their candles from your torch!”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau also became famous for his statements addressed to teachers. In particular, he urged teachers not to hammer certain knowledge into the heads of children, but to strive to ensure that children receive this knowledge on their own.
Francesco Bergamini A Present for Teacher
Immanuel Kant wrote about the same, who, addressing teachers, urged them: "Teach your children not to memorize thoughts, but to think."
A similar statement belongs to the famous teacher Adolf Diesterweg, who wrote that a bad teacher can only teach to memorize the truth, while a good teacher helps children find it themselves. The same Disterweg noted, not without irony, that one cannot become a true teacher after mastering a certain number of sciences, one can only be born one.
Richard Redgrave, 1844.
Among the modern European aphorisms about teachers, the following can be particularly clearly distinguished:
As Samuel Butler points out, there are two types of teachers: the former teach a lot, and the latter teach nothing at all.
Henry Adams says that every teacher in his work touches eternity.
Richard Aldington believes that the main task of a teacher is to show his student the right path in life and in the world of people.
According to Karl Kraus, students eat what their teachers have digested for them.
Contemporary writer Paulo Coelho notes that the role of the teacher in the world is enormous. Only those who have endured the trials on the spiritual path, gained patience and courage to accept all events in their lives without judgment, can find a real teacher as a gift from heaven.
Russian aphorisms about school and teachers are varied.
We all know the words of A.S. Pushkin, who remarked that "we all learned little by little ... something and somehow ...".
Among Russian philosophers and writers, Leo Tolstoy became famous for such aphoristic statements about pedagogy.
In particular, Tolstoy wrote that only a person with certain character traits and a vocation for this field of work can be a teacher.
Also, with the help of an aphorism, Tolstoy derives the formula of a real teacher, he says that such a teacher loves his children like a parent, and he also loves his job.
At the same time, the philosopher notes that it can be easy for a teacher to teach his pupils, but, as a rule, this study is always difficult for them.
Razdrogin Igor Alexandrovich "Country Teacher" 1957
Characteristic for Russian pedagogical thought is the appeal to the significance of the personality of the teacher in the matter of education. Dmitry Pisarev points to this, noting that everything in the upbringing of children depends on the personality of the educator himself.
Vasily Klyuchevsky echoes him, noting that in order to become a good teacher, it is important to love your students and love your science.
Nikolai Bogdanov-Belsky
Now we can summarize the above about teachers:
Albert Anker(* 1831 * 1910)
R. Emerson's words are known that a teacher is a person who can turn difficult things into easy ones.
Konstantin Kushner ironically and beautifully notes that the pedagogical burden that lies on the teacher is so heavy that it can only be compared with cosmic overload.
V. Wilson believes that before educating, the teacher must remember that he himself must believe in every truth that he reveals to the children.
There is a saying attributed to Otto von Bismarck that all wars are won not by generals and not by their armies, but by teachers.
And, finally, W. Churchill once allowed himself to remark that a school teacher always has more power than a prime minister. This paradoxical and beautiful statement was liked by his voters and became an aphorism.
Aphorisms about teachers are offered in a variety of ways. Humorous, realistic, rhetorical - but the most important thing in these statements is the understanding of the greatest role that belongs to the teacher in the world of people.
