The greatest teacher incentive: The freedom to teach - The Washington Post

This article makes several really valid points. Unfortunately, most of you all who read this blog are teachers, so, it will be validating what you already know. I wish there were more people in positions of power that would spend more time listening to those of us in the trenches. I dream about a day when I can actually teach my children what the need to know. There was a time when children were taught how to do basic tasks, and it was acceptable for them to work in jobs where those tasks were necessary. I hope someday we will come back around to accepting children for who they are, not push them to be someone that are not.
