To help and assist them, numerous successful programs have been instituted. And contrary to what critics claim, public school teachers have been effective in making a difference in the lives of children. Teachers have an awesome and compelling front line job to teach all children without regard to their language, color, or ethnicity. Classrooms are much like a large orchestra and the teacher is the skilled and masterful conductor. Their dedicated and effective teaching helps students learn, grow, and become part of the mainstream of education and society.
Teachers have a daily task to be creative, energetic, articulate, and motivating.
They do not have the luxury to pick and choose which children they want to teach. We fail to understand the motivation or reason for the lawsuit which has been characterized as the largest class-action, employment discrimination case in the history of this country. On the contrary, invalidating the test on some flimsy, legal technicality may well serve to harm students. We are confident that the courts will find for the children.
