Quote by Thomas Carruthers

A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary.


A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary

Summary

This quote implies that a great teacher is not just someone who imparts knowledge to their students, but also empowers them to become independent learners. As they guide and educate, the teacher's ultimate goal should be to help their students develop the skills and confidence to think critically, explore new ideas, and solve problems on their own. By doing so, a teacher reaches a point where their presence is no longer necessary, as their students have become self-sufficient learners. The quote emphasizes the importance of cultivating independence and self-reliance in education.
