Neither, I must say with all due respect, is it the power of teachers and students. Basically the true and real power is with working people of all colors, of all beliefs, of all national origins.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think more and more respect has been accorded to teachers, and quite rightly so.
Great teachers transcend ideology.
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Power is not just political. It can be cultural; it can be spiritual.
I come from a family of teachers, and I believe ideas matter; the good ones deserve reverence, and the bad ones, defiance.
For me, education was power.
Teachers are our greatest public servants; they spend their lives educating our young people and shaping our Nation for tomorrow.
The role of the teacher remains the highest calling of a free people. To the teacher, America entrusts her most precious resource, her children; and asks that they be prepared... to face the rigors of individual participation in a democratic society.
Most teachers still say they love teaching though they wouldn't mind a little more respect for their challenging work and a little less blame for America's educational shortcomings.
A teacher should have maximal authority, and minimal power.
