  17. ZEN AND THE ART OF PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHING JohnPerricone.com

  18. TO TEACH Is to share who you are; to impart the knowledge of all that has informed you with a passion that inspires the disinterested heart to listen, and the reluctant will to learn. To Teach… Is to nurture the growing spirits; to foster insight that perceives the rhythms of life…and couples the preparations of the inner self to endure -- with dignity – the adversity that wisely trains our souls. To Teach… Is to correct with patience; to discipline with fairness; to make each inappropriate action an opportunity for instruction – an encouraged new seed of positive growth.

  19. To Teach… Is to empower with substance rather than image – replacing the corruption of shallow influence with a standard of good character that maintains the integrity of one’s convictions even if one should stand alone. To Teach… Is to be chosen to a path most noble in life that deeply rewards the faithful guides who lead throughout its essential course. May all whom you teach grow richly by your example. Brian Johnson
