This Website is Devoted to the

Memory of Mr. Rogers

Fred Rogers

Mr. Rogers says: An old Quaker adage says, "Attitudes are caught, not taught." The teacher sets the attitude of the classroom -- and that attitude is contagious. Children learn from their teacher's example, from the way the teacher respects each child and from the way the teacher expects children to treat one another. Children need to learn that they don't have to like everyone -- but they do have to be courteous to everyone. When children learn more about one another, and when they know their teachers recognize and celebrate their differences, they are more likely to feel a sense of community in the classroom. Teachers foster mutual respect when they provide activities that encourage conversation, sharing, and interaction.
