They will remember 10% of what you teach them and 90% of how you treat them!

Upon entering the field of education I had the pleasure of working with several great administrators in the Meridian School district. One of those administrators game me a quote that I'll never forget: "They will remember 10% of what you teach them and 90% of how you treat them."  I have and will not every forgot this great quote. In fact, I have it posted in a place in my office that constantly reminds me of this adage. In a recent blog post I was reminded of this quote when the following popped up. You will not be disappointed in this read! 

The blog post highlighted this quote from the article: 

"Because we want our students to think we're the very best at what we do and we believe that this status of excellence is achieved merely by doing.  But we forget- and often.  Excellence is more readily attained by being."
