„Самым важным явлением в школе, самым поучительным предметом, самым живым примером для ученика является сам учитель.“

Вариант: Школа — это место, где учителя требуют от ученика знаний по всем предметам, в то время как сами знают по одному.

The best educators are the ones that inspire their students. That inspiration comes from a passion that teachers have for the subject they're teaching. Most commonly, that person spent their lives studying that subject, and they bring an infectious enthusiasm to the audience. I think many people have that enthusiasm, but they are prevented from being teachers because they didn't go through the teacher mill. Now you have teachers who have been through the teacher mill, yet they have no capacity to inspire anyone at all. It's the inspired student that continues to learn on their own. That's what separates the real achievers in the world from those who pedal along, finishing assignments.
