A good developer is always learning and re-evaluating in order to improve.

"Asking what sort of education and learning our community supports is how we decide what sort of community we become.

For it is through education and learning that we engage with our future colleagues, friends and supporters."

Teachers

Teaching is the one profession that creates all the other professions.

Teaching is a calling (you're certainly not doing it for the money or "perks").

Teaching is the hardest job I've ever had to do.
