Over the years as a teacher and now a college professor, I still see passionate future teachers needing guidance on how to be effective. This is where we need to focus our attention and amplify the desire of so many teachers by providing them with management tools. Our students do and should keep us thinking outside the box- but teachers need administrators that encourage such thinking- in that is freedom and excitement and success for all. I applaud your post and am glad to call you a colleague.<br /><br />Linda Metcalf, PhD<br />Author: Teaching Toward Solutions Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14400814391170754210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-67308859278888284712017-02-22T18:59:40.935-05:002017-02-22T18:59:40.935-05:00 Peter, I do not know you, I am not an educator an... Peter, I do not know you, I am not an educator and I only know the that the public education system is what a GREAT American (Mr. Benjamin Franklin) envisioned and helped to implement. I also know that if it were not for our public school system most Americans (even most of those who voted for Pres. Trump) would not have an education. And, I also know that much of the problem with ignorance in our society is due to the drop out rate in our school system. Other countries require all children to go through 12th grade and we should too. As a senior citizen and a retired businessman I have see the results of those who have not had a complete education for far top many years. You are right on in everything you say and I only wish that requiring children to complete every grade in HS would be something you might add. Thank you for you wonderful words.VW Bro.

They love our children and make a huge investment in their young lives. As a parent, thank you for speaking up and standing up for our babies! I speak as a the mother of a child whose public school teachers prepared him well for college. Their investment is his success.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378331557957690541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-20053900540686496842017-02-17T13:33:50.558-05:002017-02-17T13:33:50.558-05:00You've said it for all of us.
