Great teachers are those who, above all, apreciate this about school children, that pupils are as were they -from a poem (translated) from one of the many web-sites on him, of the hailed late Cypriot teacher-thinker Orhan Seyfi Ari:
Sometimes such fools we were, sometimes smart kids
Sometimes Satan's tools, sometimes with saintly deeds
Sometimes such fools we were, sometimes smart kids
Sometimes Satan's tools, sometimes with saintly deeds
This appreciation made this teacher, one of the much hailed great teachers, Orhan Seyfi Arı loved by everyone -they named steets after him, composed poetry after him.
