"I suspect the most important quality of a good teacher is the capacity to like people. Despite forever having to grade, you must be able to suspend judgement and appreciate people for who they are...moreover do not waste much time analyzing yourself. Good teachers cope with what life thrusts at them and don't worry about small things like consistency."
--Sam Pickering, Letters to a Teacher, page 57
