Teachers

What kind of teachers should we have?


God has answered that question too!

Here are a few quotes, to give some ideas.

The first one is from 'Fundamentals of Christian Education,' pg. 536; “And there are some who, having secured this worldly education, think that they can introduce it into our schools. But let me tell you that you must not take what the world calls higher education and bring it into our schools and sanitariums and churches. We need to understand these things. I speak to you definitely. This must not be done.” Wow! Very firm counsel there. Here is another quote, from '6T., pg. 178, 179; “Some do not appreciate the value of agricultural work. These should not plan for our schools, for they will hold everything from advancing in right lines. In the past their influence has been a hindrance. Study in agricultural lines should be the A, B, and C of the education given in our schools. This is the very first work that should be entered upon.”

There are many, many quotes to describe what teachers should be like, but basically, they will have to believe and practice the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy in its entirety, and be patient and willing to work and play with the children and youth they will be dealing with.
