The goal of every teacher should be to keep his/her students engaged and interacting throughout the entire day. By integrating humor in the classroom, the mood will be livened up and students will be excited to learn. These quotes can also be a good starting point for a lesson plan where students can share their own opinions about the quotes and even debate the topic at hand. With humor in the classroom, the learning opportunities are endless.
Here are 5 of the best humorous education quotes out there. If nothing else, they are good for a laugh or two.
R. Verdi
Good teachers are those who know how little they know. Bad teachers are those who think they know more than they don’t know.
Theodore Roosevelt
A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.
William-Blake
But to go to school in a summer morn,
Oh, it drives all the joy away!
Under a cruel eye outworn,
The little ones spend the day
In sighing and dismay.
Anatole France
An education isn’t how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It’s being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don’t.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I pay the schoolmaster, but it is the school boys who educate my son.
