As the new school year approaches, we're excited to share insights from those who live the everyday reality of classrooms: the teachers and learners, themselves.
Imagine if our books had ears—they'd hear the daily bartering, laughter, and information exchanged in classrooms around the world.
Through our back-to-school campaign and with the help of teachers, we've gathered a collection of quotes that bring these moments to life. In this article, we present some of the most inspiring quotes, offering a glimpse into the vibrant world of classroom life.
Take a look!
