Top quotes by Albert Einstein on Teaching      View all Albert Einstein Quotes.

A society's competitive advantage will come not from how well its schools teach the multiplication and periodic tables, but from how well they stimulate imagination and creativity.

Bear in mind that the wonderful things you learn in your schools are the work of many generations. All this is put in your hands as your inheritance in order that you may receive it, honor it, add to it, and one day faithfully hand it on to your children.

Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school. It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.

I do not teach anyone I only provide the environment in which they can learn

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community.

Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as hard duty. Never regard study as duty but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.

Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.
