"In many places, classrooms are overcrowded and curricula are outdated. Most of our qualified teachers are underpaid, and many of our paid teachers are unqualified. So we must give every child a place to sit and a teacher to learn from. Poverty must not be a bar to learning, and learning must offer an escape from poverty."~ President L.B. Johnson~

"She who teaches never ceases to learn"

Hi Amanda When I listened to the multi-media assignment I felt that very same passion and motivation. I also gained a little wisdom and insight from their experiences that will help me with my future endeavors. I especially like the quote by Marian Wright Edelman which is so very true. It is also exciting to se that your parents involvement gave you motivation.
ReplyDeleteI, too, enjoyed the multi-media resource. It is nice to hear others who feel the same way that I feel about teaching. I have the same "passion to make a real contribution to the world."
ReplyDeleteAnd I too believe that teachers are undervalued in the work world.
