It has been a long time since I posted about Teacher Wisdomedicine. For the information of everybody (who's everybody? LOL), this series of posts is all about empowering our teachers (as well as other people) about the noble task of the teaching profession. We can't ignore the fact that teaching really is a stressful job, and we can't blame teachers if they feel burned out. I hope that through these "inspiring" words, they may feel vitalized(sounds like vitamins...of course wisdoMEDICINE right?LOL) and still be inspired to guide and mold the minds of our generation. I thank you...bow...These quotes by the way were retrieved from
