People always seem to be looking for a simple way to solve our problems in education.
I have been involved in education for a life-time and in teacher education for the past several years. Tremendous progress has been made since I first started this involvement. The teacher education program I work with today is modeled after the results of years of research on the topic. Most educators have hearts of gold and work like dogs to accomplish what they must for little recognition or adequate compensation. So, please, kiss a teacher today.
