But the fact is, no matter how good the teacher, how small the class, how focused on quality education the school may be none of this matters if we ignore the individual needs of our students.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is nothing more valuable than great classroom instruction. But let's stop putting the whole burden on teachers. We also need better parents. Better parents can make every teacher more effective.
We do students a great disservice by implying that one set of students is more important than another.
I don't think most teachers realize how much impact they have.
Education should be one of our top funding priorities; talking about it does not help the teachers and students who desperately need promises fulfilled.
Instead of unfairly demonizing teachers, we should be working with them to find solutions to the problems in our schools and make sure every child gets an outstanding public education.
We should empower teachers to do their job by cutting wasteful spending and crippling bureaucracy, not classroom resources our educators and students need.
It's the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom.
I cannot emphasize enough the importance of a good teacher.
It is commonly said that a teacher fails if he has not been surpassed by his students. There has been no failure on our part in this regard considering how far they have gone.
As a former teacher and a mother and grandmother, I know firsthand the importance of a quality education.
