The list of gifted teachers and librarians who find their jobs in jeopardy for defending their students' right to read, to imagine, to question, grows every year.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
School librarians play such an enormous role in bringing children to books they are going to enjoy. It's a magic alchemy when that works.
I'd love to see more middle and high school teachers who are not teaching English develop classroom libraries. Our message to kids should be that reading is for everyone.
Great teachers should be rewarded.
Any gifted child can potentially get in real trouble because of the way they are handled.
There's many a bestseller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.
In addition to being a writer, I'm a librarian - professionally trained and everything.
I have a real soft spot in my heart for librarians and people who care about books.
Children find prescriptive reading lists daunting, and they are a dangerous thing to have in schools.
I take every opportunity I can to speak to librarians.
You know, you don't expect everyone to be as educated as everyone else or have the same achievements, but you expect at least to be offered at least some of the opportunities, and libraries are the most simple and the most open way to give people access to books.
