Inspirational Classroom Quotes...and a Whole Lot More

Who was your favorite teacher? Was it the history teacher who gave it to you straight and let you make up your own mind? Maybe it was your art teacher who gave you a new perspective, even though your drawings were more like scribbles?
Throughout our lives we continually look back to the teachers that taught us more than what was in the book, and hopefully we are passing those lessons on to the next generation of learners.
This collection of inspirational quotes, musings, and occasional one-liners is directly inspired by Maria Cording, a math teacher at Elmwood Park Memorial High School in Elmwood Park, New Jersey.
Every day she would dedicate a portion of her blackboard, not to equations and variables, but to the plain fact that the world is a big place, with big ideas, but that the most important things are the small, seemingly insignificant details.
These details are what bind us all together, from Pre-Algebra all the way to AP Calculus.

We were all Cording’s Cadets.
We are all students in the classroom of life.
We are all teachers to one another.
