Let s thank Paula and all of the teachers at the Otis for their hard work and dedication. Now, we re building on that success with a new program called WriteBoston. We want writing to be a focus in every classroom and every living room. Our students need strong writing skills so they can write a history paper today, and a business proposal tomorrow. Strong reading and writing skills help students perform better in school and in life.
People don t go into teaching to make a lot of money.
They do it for all the right reasons. They care about kids. And they know the value of a good education. The expectation of teachers today is far greater than it s ever been. In addition to teaching, they have to be one part child psychologist, one part parent, and another part friend.
