'Of some of our teachers who inspired us most, we remember what they cared about, and that they cared about us, and the person we might become. It is the quality of caring about ideas and values, the fascination with the potential for growth within people, this depth and fervour about doing things well and striving for excellence , that comes closest to what I mean in describing a 'passionate' teacher.'
Robert Fried
