You can't stop a teacher when they want to do something. They just do it.

I don’t think it would have all got me quite so down if just once in a while—just once in a while—there was at least some polite little perfunctory implication that knowledge should lead to wisdom, and that if it doesn't, it's just a disgusting waste of time! But there never is! You never even hear any hints dropped on a campus that wisdom is supposed to be the goal of knowledge. You hardly ever even hear the word 'wisdom' mentioned!

If people are well paid for reality television and cotton candy and dunking a basketball, why can't they be well paid for changing young minds?

Hopefully, we can make some good cuts without affecting education. We don't want to cut the teachers or supplies. Education is the bottom line.

But Greg received a great education, thanks to dedicated teachers and administrators. My youngest son, Christopher, is now a grade 2 student, and I just want the same thing for him.

Here, let me break it down for you,
so you know what I say is true:
Teachers? Teachers make a difference!
Now what about you?
