I went to Princeton in the fall of 1930 as a half-time instructor.
On the last day of my teaching career, I was sitting in my apartment, having a glass of wine, thinking I'm glad I did it, that I had been somehow useful, that I had learned something.
I spent a few years after college as a Boston public school teacher and I loved it. But I was never committed to it, committed to it as a career.
My daughter became a teacher right out of college.
From B.A. to M.A. and on to Ph.D., my academic career was all smooth sailing. Upon receiving my degrees, I stayed on to teach at Beijing Normal University.
I think [teacher] is the noblest profession.
...being an effective teacher is a high calling.
Camille Hanks, whose upper-middle-class parents both had college degrees, was a student at the University of Maryland planning on a teaching career when she met Bill Cosby, who was seven years her senior.
I love teaching. I wouldn't take a job that didn't include it.
My mother went to Radcliffe, and rather than just trying to get rich, she wanted to be a teacher and taught for over 30 years in the public schools. She's definitely got some war stories.
I'm a teacher. My mother was a teacher. I spent 40 years as a teacher.
I used to say I didn't want to teach. I was still excited about dancing. It's hard to do both. It's as exhausting teaching as it is to dance.
When I finished my degree I became a physics and maths teacher. And worked in the international school in Brussels, because like many kids, after University I went home going 'ahhh I don't know what to do'. I happened to fall upon a job there because they were desperate for a physics teacher which is a common theme among many schools.
My husband's parents were both English teachers for decades.
I was gonna try to go to grad school to teach foreign language.
I loved almost everything about being a teacher, but I was an unusual teacher.
I wanted to be an elementary school teacher my whole life.
I'm very involved with kids because after being a teacher for seven years, I just can't stop loving the kids. I am a teacher forever.
I'm an expert in baseball and I don't even have a job. I'm an expert, more so than a lot of people out there. It should be my career until I'm dead. I should be one of the instructors. I think I've earned it.
I love teaching. I love working with kids... maybe some day I'll go back to the classroom. I'm not ready to say it'll never happen.
I have written more than 100 novels and novellas since 1983 - I was first published in 1985. There was an overlap of three years with my teaching career, but finally I felt good enough about my writing career to quit teaching and write full time.
In school [I wanted] to be an English teacher.
The teacher's life should have three periods, study until twenty-five, investigation until forty, profession until sixty, at which age I would have him retired on a double allowance.
I think eventually I want to become a teacher, like my father wanted to be, and hopefully positively influence the next generation.
I was a teacher once.
