As the daughter of a schoolteacher, I feel very strongly that the most important thing in school takes place right there in that classroom, and the interaction between the teacher and the child.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The single most important thing in a child's performance is the quality of the teacher. Making sure a child spends the maximum amount of time with inspirational teachers is the most important thing.
Make no mistake about it: Next to parents and families, our teachers are the most important influence in our children's lives.
The most important thing I think teachers can do for young people is to make them inquiring, is to ensure that they know how to gather information, that they check information and they take their information from a multiplicity of sources.
Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.
Parents, first and foremost, it is important to... understand and recognise the activities your child is naturally gravitating towards. It's important also to ensure that your child likes what he or she is doing. I believe in exposing children to as many hobbies and extracurricular activities as possible.
I think it is most important for a teacher to play the pieces and studies that are being played by the student.
The most influential of all educational factors is the conversation in a child's home.
Ensuring all kids have access to an effective, talented teacher needs to be a national priority.
Any good teacher knows how important it is to connect with students and understand our culture.
Parents matter, buildings count, curriculum choices, materials, resources - all these things are important in a top-class education. But, in the end, it comes down to the teachers.
