"Don't try to fix the students, fix ourselves first. 
The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. 
When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed."

"The average teacher explains complexity; 
the gifted teacher reveals simplicity." 

(Robert Brault) 

Because. . .

"If you can’t explain it simply,
 you don’t understand it very well."
