My guess is the great majority of teachers would welcome a system where innovation is embraced, where their hard work and their students' achievement are applauded and rewarded.

We are very excited about our test scores. Hard work on the part of our students, teachers and administrators paid off.

I believe that we are missing a great opportunity. We as Republicans are not really emphasizing what brings us together, and that's conservative values: love of the country. Love of family. Personal responsibility. Hard work. Optimism. Those are the things that we should be communicating to Latinos, and we're doing that very poorly.

Goodness and hard work are rewarded with respect.

Great teachers should be rewarded.

I find fear is a great motivator to work hard.
