Students never appreciate their teachers while they are learning. It is only later, when they know more of the world, that they understand how indebted they are to those who instructed them. Good teachers expect no praise or love from the young. They wait for it, and in time, it comes. Darren Shan
About This Quote

A teacher is not always appreciated but is one of the most important people in a student’s life. We often forget how much we rely on teachers during our early years of education. Our teachers are the ones who guide us through our education, help us learn what they know, and help us find things that we lack. A good teacher never criticizes or blames his students for their mistakes. He or she expects nothing in return but to be remembered by the students later on.
