In Praise of Teachers

“The most important work in public education occurs in the classroom between teachers and kids,” writes newly-retired educator Jeffrey Newport. “It’s not easy work. Give teachers a pat on the back, write them a note (they’ll post it on their refrigerators at home), bring them a cup of coffee one morning. They’ll appreciate it. And they deserve it.” Source: Education Week
