The bags that teachers carry home symbolize their guilt about the endless care they have to give.

Teachers who don't pull their weight drag down the profession and their colleagues with it.

The most important emotion in classrooms is surprise.

We disagree with the assertion that great teachers can be replaced by online alternatives. The futuristic claim that technology will triumph over teachers ignores all the social and relational dimensions of teaching and learning.
