Teacher's work- one of those professions with which the child is especially familiar, and therefore it is not surprising that it occupies a large place in his games, and then often becomes the object of dreams of a young person. But not every student, even an older one, who admires pedagogical skills, understands well what qualities a person who wants to devote himself to the great cause of teaching and educating the younger generation should have.

The correct attitude towards children is of great importance for the success of pedagogical work. Anyone who does not have a keen interest in children, is irritated by their slightest misconduct, can hardly become a good teacher. The best teachers always get the greatest satisfaction from working with children. And the children, in turn, feel good whether an employee who performs his duties comes to their class, or whether a friend, an enthusiast of his work, in which he is passionate, puts his whole soul into, is engaged with them.

Out of love for children, love for pedagogical work is born. And this love gives mastery in work. It is clear to everyone: you can teach only what you yourself know well and in the study of which you have great interest. The subject taught should be the teacher's favorite science. However, it does not at all follow from this that the teacher limits the circle of his knowledge and interests to the narrow framework of one of his subjects. The child's mind is inquisitive and inquisitive. Quite often, children ask the teacher questions that are far from his specialty. And you must always be ready to meet the needs of children. Therefore, the teacher must constantly acquire new and new information about the world around him, and not only in the subject he teaches.

In terms of determining the professional qualities of a teacher, the characteristics of pedagogical work are interesting quotes of great people about teachers, educators. They acquaint us with the intricacies of the profession, make us respect the profession of a teacher, reveal its essence, and convey the personal experience of the author.

With quotes about teachers it will be useful to get acquainted with future teachers or schoolchildren who are still on the verge of choosing a profession.
