Why Great Teachers Matter & Why We Should Care

Good Teacher

Education is the movement from darkness to light. ~Allan Bloom


Our government here in America needs to “see the light.”

If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. ~Attributed to both Andy McIntyre and Derek Bok

We need to invest more in education and less in big weapons, big business, and billionaires.

Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army. ~Edward Everett

Billionaires should pay their fair share in taxes so we can move closer to an economically balanced society.

He who opens a school door closes a prison. ~Victor Hugo

Only then will everyone have a more equal chance to succeed.


Many thanks to the teachers who work hard to inspire tomorrow’s leaders…I’m grateful
