Teachers are the most underpaid profession out there in my book. They should be making at least what ... I dunno, nurses make. What's more important to health than education? Jeezuz!

I've taught, not by education, but by experience. And there is NOT A BETTER WAY to stifle a kid from learning as to teach by rote. Oh, maybe the times tables ( I HATED the 7's)...............

Teaching is teaching kids and adults how TO LEARN.

That should be a new motto for teachers everywhere, maybe a bumper sticker. "Don't Stifle".

My dad, when I married, told him - "DO NOT break her spirit".

He didn't.
