Who can teach when there are such lessons to be learned

The only thing that surprises me is the characterization of teachers as lazy and greedy. Only someone with very little understanding of what teaching requires would say such a thing.

It is not enough these days to simply QUESTION AUTHORITY. You have to speak with it, too.

Here, let me break it down for you, so you know what I say is true: Teachers? Teachers make a difference! Now what about you?

I implore you, I entreat you and I challenge you to speak with conviction. To say what you believe in a manner that bespeaks the determination with which you believe it. Because contrary to the wisdom of the bumper sticker, it is not enough these days to simply question authority—you've got to speak with it too.

Say what you believe in a manner that bespeaks the determination with which you believe it.

The best teachers that I had were always the ones I never wanted to disappoint.
