Knowledge

Knowledge is the only instrument of production that is not subject to diminishing returns.

Sharing Your Knowledge

Dear Teacher,
     We have so much to learn - thank you for sharing your knowledge and your wisdom.  You have helped us understand the value of education and the importance of lifetime learning.  Sometimes, of course, we became tired of textbooks, tests, classrooms, and computer screens.  But even when we would rather be anyplace other than school, you helped us focus on the things we need to know.  Because you were excited about learning, we became excited, too.
     You have taught us education is the tool by which we come to know and appreciate the world in which we live.  Thanks for that lesson - we will not forget it.
                                                                                         Singed,
                                                                                         Your Student

Thank You!

     "Thank you for being my teacher!" - six words that have the power to warm the hearts and brighten the days of instructors everywhere.  Because you're reading these words, it is likely you are a teacher.  If so, congratulations!  You have chosen one of the world's most important professions.  You've committed yourself to the noble cause of molding impressionable minds.  By doing so, you are reshaping our schools and our future.  This material is intended as a way of saying thanks.
     Henry Adams correctly observed, "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops."  Those words have never been truer than they are today.  We live in a difficult, fast-paced, temptation-filled world.  More than ever, our young people need the leadership of thoughtful mentors who are willing to teach by words and example, but not necessarily in that order
~Thank You For Being My Teacher
