As the back-to-school season kicks off, we're reminded of the excitement, challenges, and new beginnings that this time of year brings for both students and teachers. Yesterday, during our Text-In Tuesday segment, we invited you to share words of encouragement and wisdom for those heading back to the classroom. Your responses were heartfelt and inspiring, offering a blend of hope, strength, and guidance. Here are some of our favorite quotes that were sent in to us:
From Penny:
The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.
From Jocelyn:
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
From Gwen:
Teach me your way, LORD, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. (Psalm 86:11)
From Laura:
Bullies are very small people. Compliment a bully. Leave them speechless.
From Lianne:
Teachers not only teach; they teach to inspire.
Here is some more scripture to encourage you in this season!
