By the time these students enter the workforce, many of the jobs they will apply for ill be in industries that don't even exist yet. That's a hard future to prepare someone for. Teachers have their sights set on the real goal: not to produce Ivy League graduates, but to encourage the development of naturally curious, confident, flexible, and happy learners who are ready for whatever the future has in store.

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?

Falling in love is like owning a dog.

Everything I do is kind of a lesson, even if I am the only person who learns it.

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

Education is the miracle; I'm just the worker.

Great teachers will never be able to make up for bad parents, nor should they be expected to.
