It was a difficult time then. I was a part-time P.E. teacher at Alva High School and Lehigh Elementary because there weren't enough students for full-time P.E. teachers.

Robert Bates

At ISU, we provide more opportunities for our scholars to further their education and to become the best teachers that they can possibly be.

Dakota Pawlicki

Their philosophy is understanding that each child brings a unique quality to the classroom. As teachers we have to attend to that quality and bring things out of the kids that they wouldn't bring out in themselves.

Jack Murphy

(Gibbons) would certainly like to be able to provide increased pay for teachers who are truly meeting expectations. He does believe that in order to recruit the best and brightest, it would be nice if we could increase salaries. There's a lot of needs in this state.

Robert Uithoven

They have all the ingredients for a successful school - good teachers who are highly qualified, total community support, and students who want to learn.

Harry Kemp

It's all very well being a native speaker. But explaining complex grammar without training would be a nightmare. A course gives you practice. There's an obligation from schools to have professionally trained teachers, and your students expect to leave the classroom understanding what you've taught them.

Sarah Wilson

We know there are issues at South High School that need to be addressed and we believe she'll be able to provide a better education for the kids and pull all of the stakeholders including parents, teachers and the community together to make a consensus.

Barry Haskell

I feel these visiting teachers are so important because this is one of the best music schools in the world. But it is in Bloomington, not New York or some place where you have the music world at your feet.

Michael Mccraw

The teachers are extremely frustrated, and they want to send a message that enough is enough.

Kerry Clock

We have a lot invested in our teachers. For us it would be a huge loss.

Candace Millington

The assembly is a great way to bring the school together. Students and teachers need a break after intensive state testing in March.

Wendy Parkhouse

Some teachers still call us. A lot of teachers call and write and send cards.

Tanya Lysacek

A lot of the students are looking forward to coming out and seeing their teachers serve ice cream, and, of course, to eat ice cream and water ice themselves. We sent home two flyers to remind parents about this event, and we've been talking about this event during class.

Heather Parker

The teachers have taught the students what they are supposed to know. Be your child's best cheerleader. Encourage them to come and do their very best. That is all we can expect.

Mike Babineaux

Nowadays, it's the kids who have the power. When they don't do the work and get lower grades, they scream and yell. Parents side with the kids who pressure teachers to lower standards.

Joel Kaplan

.School will be back to normal on Wednesday. All students are expected to turn out, and the teachers should be there. We continue our deliberations and seek to iron out the situation.

Dennis Kelly

Trying to document that was a circus. I talked to former superintendents, teachers and students. I made a lot of calls. I have several theories in the book, and maybe one of them is true. The closest bell was the most difficult to document.

Dale Niewoehner

Teachers walk the kids, everyday, down here to the crossing guards. The crossing guards shoo them on in one big group, [but] it was extremely late, two hours after school.

Lt. Tundra King

One of our goals is to build a sense of community within the group of first- and second-year teachers that are new to the district in Ottumwa, and the other is to help orientate those teachers to our community. The bus tour accomplishes both of those goals.

Jody Williams

Overall, I think the teachers really enjoyed knowing there is a resource out there.

Allison Teeters

When we keep these units in the system right now, what it means is these decisions don't have to be made, and the workload of teachers is not going to be impacted.

Kevin Foley

I think the ideal situation would be if everyone had full coverage. Ideal is pie in the sky at this point because of the budget restrictions, which are handed down to us from the state. We can only do so much with the funding the state gives to us. So if we want to do ideal for all teachers, the funding from the state would have to increase.

Brian Phillips

Approximately 1,000 MAFT members, which include teachers, staff and school-related personnel, have been directly affected by Hurricane Katrina.

Greg Kelly

If there is a communicable disease, such as whooping cough, or something like that, then we try to follow up on each case. We try to find out who the patient might have had contact with; siblings, grandparents, teachers; and eliminate the spread of the illness as much as we can.

Kathleen Grubb

The flows are getting bigger. We're sending more workers and we're sending more teachers compared with entertainers. So when they remit, it's bigger.

Jonathan Ravelas

Through our combined efforts, we can give back to teachers, parents and students who consistently show loyal support for Sharpie. The Autographs for Education program is an incredible opportunity for us to reach out to millions of students and schools across the nation. Each signature we collect represents one more child whose educational experience we may improve.

Rory Leyden

There are several reasons for this (low number). The people who were taught to garden from seed by their parents, grandparents or teachers are more likely to garden from seed later. It requires time. You can't just sow seeds and walk away. You have to nurture that seed. Many people are too busy to start from seed and they would prefer to purchase plants.

Nona Koivula

I got to Tucson on the 6th and had a full schedule of classes that same day. The teachers were all willing to work with me and have been good about taking my situation into consideration.

Justin Spicer

The bottom line that we have to face is that teachers are becoming more like parents.

Kerry Kirk

Harry can paint but I can't. He has our father's talent while I, on the other hand, am about the biggest idiot on a piece of canvas. I did do a couple of drawings at Eton which were put on display. Teachers thought they were examples of modern art, but in fact, I was just trying to paint a house!

Prince William

The academy program allows for consistency with teaching students. Without the academy, a student would have five or six different teachers that have different ways of doing things.

Loretta Patterson

When we have received assurances that Juan Miguel will be able to take custody of his son, but under circumstances that require him to remain in this country for a period of time, we will also be seeking permission for a support group of Elian's classmates, teachers and doctors to come to the United States to help smooth the transition.

Greg Craig

I think the classrooms suffer with half-time teachers.

Doylene Fuqua

There is no human reason why a child should not admire and emulate his teacher's ability to do sums, rather than the village bum's ability to whittle sticks and smoke cigarettes. The reason why the child does not is plain enough - the bum has put himself on an equality with him and the teacher has not.

Floyd Dell

Those kinds of things drive school district budgets in ways that we don't have a control. We can't control fuel costs, but we must put children on buses. We can't control teachers retirement funds, but we must pay into that system.

Lisa Lieberman

Someone put it best the other day. What better investment in education can we make than in our teachers. We can have all the buildings, supplies ... but if we don't have teachers, it won't matter, and until we get salaries up we can't compete with other states.

Dr. Tommy Bice

We have to compete for the best teachers. We don't have enough money to compete very effectively, and so we've got to be creative.

Dianne Johnson

The quality of our teachers can be credited for the outstanding performances of our students.

Michael Reed

Early registration not only provides smooth transition into the schools but helps us to find highly qualified teachers because teachers are allocated based on enrollment.

Barbara Batts

Some teachers are better with adults and some aren't.

Peggy Smith

I'd say you can do anything you want to do with a psychology degree. We do alumni surveys of our undergraduates and I can tell you that there are firemen, marketing directors, ministers, teachers, pilots and business executives.

Charles Brewer

Many girls intentionally perpetrate acts of aggression that go unseen by parents and teachers. Because they are so skilled at being subtle, girls can communicate a thousand words without saying anything. By rolling their eyes or turning their back on another girl, they can shut that other person out without being noticed by anyone else - even a concerned parent or teacher.

Rachel Simmons

The first day will be pretty hectic. I told the teachers to be patient because there were probably won't be a lot of school being done.

Dale Barnes

It has noting to do with the work of these fine teachers, but we have too many unknowns for next year at this time.

Dean Juntunen

We already have a lot of programs for children. But we'd also like to start programs for adults and with increased funding we'd have the money to pay lecturers to come in or teachers to demonstrate. We're looking at a comprehensive program of adult activities.

Thais Gardy

I have a responsibility to pass on to the next generation what I learned from my teachers, ... It keeps me young and reminds me where I came from. Teaching young artists is like giving water to a flower.

Isaac Stern

These are areas that we have to recruit harder and act faster. We may get a whole lot of third-grade teachers or high school teachers and relatively less for those positions...There just aren't a lot out there.

Kris Taylor

I think it helps focus students on being accountable for what they have to learn. It also focuses accountability back on teachers so that they are doing a good job teaching students what they need to know.

Judy Jeffrey

The organization has state offices and is also governed by a board of governors made up of teachers and university representatives from around the state.

Ben Yates

Large schools tend to be anonymous places, places where teachers and students are little known to each other. The anonymity often breeds apathy or alienation; many kids fall through the cracks.

Thomas Toch

I praised him for writing the memo with the phrase 'may,' because certified teachers ... do not have to clean.

Diane Wildfong

It's practical common-sense stuff that's making us successful. Our teachers don't have to spend half of the period dealing with discipline issues. It's not that our teachers are smarter, they just have more time to teach.

Dr. Huey Mills

It needs to be made really clear to kids and teachers that this is no longer acceptable.

Nancy Kern

We've got to lower teacher units at some schools. West Morgan's fifth grade has three teachers and 93 students.

Billy Rhodes

It's meant to be low-level team competition and to motivate teachers and staff to participate in healthy behaviors. Principals in particular have given us really positive feedback; they said it helps the camaraderie of the faculty.

Matt Mahar

What we're really concerned about is we're finding that nearly half the teachers leave in their first five years of teaching.

Bruce Schroeder

The fact that the National Academies is recognizing the efforts of teachers and mentors is indicative of how much importance they are placing on national higher education.

Jo Handelsman

Two and a half hours is just not enough time for the teachers and children.

Beth Brown

I really have no idea why it would take seven weeks to give teachers the pay that they are due. I would love to know what they're doing with all that money.

Anne Spencer

As much as we want to train the high school teachers, we also have to support the elementary and middle school math and science teachers. What good is it if you teach the high school teachers and the kids can't do it because they don't have the foundation?

Pat Hamamoto

It's a shock. Teachers have talked about what a good kid he was to have in their classes.

Mike O'mara

I've always loved to learn. I've always enjoyed school, and it might have gotten me into trouble with my peers and that sort of nature. A lot of it was both my parents were in the field of education. With a lot of parents that are teachers, they rarely suggest that their child go into teaching, because it is a difficult occupation. Their example really motivated me to become a teacher.

Ben Clabo

The fear of kidnapping has been the main reason for learning deficiencies, especially among children whose parents are government employees or high-ranking professionals like doctors and teachers.

Maruan Abdullah

I feel really proud of our students and I'm proud of the teachers that we really did a concerted effort. Our school is just an open community of educators.

Karen Andrus

We don't want to just rely on artists coming in (to classrooms). We want teachers to feel confident teaching arts in their classrooms.

Millie Butler

We offered to let her be a non-speaking member of UNME (teachers union) just so she could attend, but the district didn't think that was legal.

Susan Huffman

We expect justice to be fair and swift when it comes to Code of Ethics complaints against teachers. SBEC has been warned before that they need to address this situation, and it hasn't happened.

Donna New Haschke

The need still exists, ... We still have children coming in. Even if we hired more teachers, we're reaching the point where we don't have anywhere to put them.

George Sharp

It's just another instance where the cultural wars are going to be fought out in our classrooms. Teachers are going to feel themselves pressured to teach Bible almost like Sunday school and that's where the tightrope walking is going to come into it.

Tim Callahan

The strength of technology is the ability (for teachers) to differentiate instruction.

Tom Lindly

We had heard a rumor Thursday that students might leave classes to protest. We had a faculty meeting (Thursday) to let the teachers know. We wanted them to talk to the students and see if they could keep them in class.

Allen Williams

He is a model for other administrators, staff, teachers, students and parents. There are issues that come up that are important to everybody, but how we resolve those issues is also very important.

Jerry Tormey

Our teachers also are aware that they basically have to serve two masters. You have to prepare students to do well on the DSTP, but you can't neglect the fact that students have to do well on the SAT.

Kevin Fitzgerald

I'm impressed with the Federal Way School District. They had disparities so extreme in their system they were forced to come up with a solution to address it. They are holding the teachers accountable. So many school districts put the burden of responsibility on the parents and the kids.

Sheley Secrest

It's a time for us to remember the people that have dedicated their lives to changing lives, to guiding children. They of course are teachers. And they have to be jazzed about teaching to keep up the inspiration and the motivation that creates excellent in our classrooms.

Kevin Christian

This perhaps won't come as a surprise to teachers; they say 'We do feel boys are less socially aware'. But this is the first evidence that there is a substantial difference in the ability to read emotions.

David Skuse

I think it's going to be very competitive. It's a teacher's world out there. They can pick and choose.

Debbie Terry

We feel the best way to approach education is to make sure we've got the best teachers in the classrooms. You keep them there by paying better teachers higher salaries.

Tim Murtaugh

It's a really great academic environment and the teachers are great. I certainly give a lot of credit to the teachers and people in the district.

Patrick Lawlor

We've increased the amount of teachers on duty. We met with a surveillance expert on Wednesday and will begin installing video surveillance next week.

Tom Gibbs

We have a wonderful, wonderful group of teachers and staff. They are the best. Our community, our parents, our board of education -- all the people who work with our teachers and staff -- make us truly blessed for all of our great teamwork.

Paula Jones

Every adult is required by law to report if they suspect child abuse or neglect. It's not just doctors and social workers and teachers. We're all responsible.

Carol Benevy

They'll have some, but that's not going to take place until probably 2007 when the total thing is combined, ... I don't know if there was enough, but when they designed this the first time, teachers had the opportunity to give input.

John Graham

I still stay in touch with my teachers from the Studio. It actually was great to be a part of that, I loved it.

Angie Harrell

Wise teachers impart their knowledge; inept ones impose theirs.

Leonard Roy Frank

It proves that wildlife naturally draws our attention. This is one of the ways teachers can use this besides teaching the importance of wildlife.

Lori Adams

I think that it is important for people to know that women who were involved with Christ were not just unnamed people who he cured. There were a lot of women who were teachers and were early helpers in spreading his word.

Dianne Brown

Sixteen years ago, we started celebrating local heroes by establishing the annual Disney Teacher Awards to celebrate and honor America's finest educators. This nomination process shows thousands of teachers across the country how much their work means to their students, colleagues and communities.

Terry Wick

We need to increase the salaries of our teachers because we're $6,000 below the national average. And that just will not cut it.

Rep. Arthenia Joyner

They would like the community to believe that our current proposal would be fiscally irresponsible, when, in fact, our offer would still keep teachers in the 'middle of the pack' and would not tax the budget.

David Griffith

I've talked to several people who are close to that — being teachers — and I get different answers to that question. I don't think I've formulated an opinion on what would be best for the school district. What I want to do is dig into it, find out the pros and cons on each system and make an informed decision about what's best for all the stakeholders.

Bob Metzler

It would be important and also an improvement for us if we could increase the starting salaries for our teachers, and I think that would also bring in a larger pool of people we could choose from.

Mark Zeller

The longer teachers work in other places, the less likely they are to come back.

William Maestri

Rather than Oil City starting those two classes ourselves and have those two teachers be without jobs, we would rather have their knowledge and expertise in their classrooms.

Thomas Finlan

It's a huge loss. He's done an outstanding job coordinating our athletic programs. He worked well with everybody, not just the athletes and coaches but also with the teachers.

Dave Shockley

It was exciting to come to a school where teachers would pray before class.

Micah Allison

Anyone that is around our children, there has to be a thorough background check. If we value our children, surely we can put a higher threshold on (teachers).

Laura Hudson

I was not allowed to see what the teachers had to say about me.

Carley Mcgrew

We set up a $100 million grant program that districts could apply for, ... Teachers could apply for $3,000 in extra pay if they would teach in chronically low-performing schools. It was an incentive to get good teachers into tough schools. It was a pretty good reform bill that just didn't pass, but we made progress as we went along.

Tommy Williams

I had a headache at the end of the week listening to some of their music. But some other teachers have followed suit.

Larry Bloom

I like the old custom of godparents. Neither of my parents were good carriers or teachers for me, and at age 15, I had the instinctive sense to go out and get myself a pair of godparents.

Robert Johnson

The FAME teachers are by far the most talented individuals that I have ever worked with. Their enthusiasm, expertise, and love of their craft have been passed on to the students and teachers at Dent Middle School. They are energized knowing that the arts are a priority at our school.

Brigitte Donlon

We do like to show our kids how math and science is used in real life. A lot of the people we invited are experts or have knowledge of a craft that we as teachers might not have access to (so) this gives the students something extra.

Carrie Knoch

We already have teachers asking whether there will be a follow-up.

Cynthia Miller

Since the court will not take swift action to order union officials to inform union members of their rights, this informational campaign will help pick up the slack. Union officials have been fighting tooth and nail to keep teachers in the dark. They naturally fear a revolt from teachers opposing the union hierarchy's extraordinary $60 million campaign this fall.

Stefan Gleason

The teachers were just shocked and saddened and we tried everything we could. The board tried to see if we could get some sort of short-term infusion until we could secure money from grants promised for later in the year.

Alice Carter

Some teachers emphasize the spirituality aspect of yoga; others may not bring it into play.

John Schumacher

No one is more important to the future of our state than our teachers.

Mike Huckabee

Our primary focus was to help the teachers and students in the makeshift schools in Hancock County.

Maggie Winz

The first thing we need to do is educate our prospective teachers much better.

Richard Askey

We're sort of open. A lot of things could have happened in the past I suppose, but everybody always respected what we were doing here, respected other teachers and races, and now it just feels like someone has really broken that trust. We're disappointed.

Christina Fernandez

I'm not sure what good it would do to expand the curriculum if the courses are watered down or your teachers aren't qualified to teach them.

David Reschke

I'd just like to take a moment here to say that I'm totally opposed to violence in the school system. I think that teachers are subjected to a lot of stuff that kids are... Children out there, if you feel so compelled to maim your teacher, I think that's okay, but to really get rough and snuff 'em out, that's tough.

Mclean Stevenson

I'm glad they've been able to pull together after consolidation. It seems like they have good teachers at both middle schools.

Jason Adams

I've always liked the teachers, the school, the community we have here. Seeing this other school makes me appreciate what we have even more.

Andrew Stuckey

Maybe because of video games and technology, teachers feel like we have to keep them moving and interested more.

John Kelly

We are served by everything from corporate types from Abbott Labs through members of the military service from Great Lakes to school teachers, firemen and police from various municipalities.

Brian Hoffman

It's silly and demeaning to rate teachers using only the poorly defined 'learning gains' on the FCAT.

Andy Ford

There's a district policy that requires teachers to ensure that for all topics, particularly controversial topics, both sides are presented, ... There's not an advocacy role to be played by the teachers in an instructional program.

Bob Collins

Version 4 has a brand new look, designed to excite and engage our online community of students. In addition, we have simplified our administrative tools so teachers can spend more time helping students to connect and collaborate on Think.com.

Jim Ballard

Science is difficult for teachers in that if you're going to do hands-on experiments you have to get supplies. There's a lot of organization involved. A lot of times, teachers aren't real comfortable. Maybe they don't have a science background themselves.

Jennifer Swoap

We're just saying we want him to stay. He's saying he doesn't want any more than the teachers get.

Tom Ferguson

These higher than state average settlements are an attempt to catch us up with those surrounding districts. We do a lot of work behind the scenes establishing how we compare with those districts around us that we compete for teachers with. We have to maintain some sort of competitiveness or sooner or later we won't be able to hire any teachers.

Duane Van Gorp

Of course competitive wages in order to attract the best and the brightest teachers and keep them here.

Charles Walters

The writing contest is a way for teachers to get kids writing. It gives them a purpose, a real-world experience. They get feedback from others and not just from me as their classroom teacher. They have a wider audience.

Ruth Johnson

It's a wonderful thing serving our district. We are truly blessed at Milan schools because we have the best teachers, faculty and staff in the world. They are truly dedicated to providing the best education possible to our kids, and overall it's an honor to serve this district. It really is.

Dawn Allstetter

I am suspicious of teachers who claim to have invented the only successful method of bringing out the best in young performers, of theorists who claim to have invented a unique approach to analysis, or of historians who wish to reduce all the developments of the musical style of the past entirely to the determinism of social conditions.

Charles Rosen

As soon as you remove user fees there's a massive expansion of demand. In Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya, a total of 8 million children went to school who had not gone to school before. You need new teachers, need new classrooms; there are new pressures on the system.

David Archer

If we can't keep any police officers, and if we can't keep teachers and firefighters, we are going to be a community that can't function.

Jaimie Ross

These books are donated either by businesses that sponsor the entire month or a collection of donations from parents with smaller donations. We even had one of our junior teachers sponsor everyone herself for Christmas.

Sheila Shynski

We are one big family. We have people from all backgrounds - teachers, lawyers and doctors.

James Ferguson

Our focus on culture is obvious, ... We must ensure we do have an atmosphere in all our schools such that students can learn and teachers can teach.

Gene Harris

If we're not going to allow teachers to interfere with a disruptive 8-year-old, then we might as well shut our schools down. This is absolutely ludicrous.

Dick Harpootlian

I feel pretty good about what happened yesterday. People are fed up. They don?t want taxes to go up, but cutting teachers is like shooting yourself in the head and then bleeding to death. If they don?t do something soon, the board is going to see the privatization of schools undermining the system. Giving them input is one thing, but if they don?t use it - what?s the sense?

Tom Wachs

We have reduced thermostats and instructed the teachers to close the blinds at the end of the day in order to preserve as much heat as possible. We also have worked to reduce heat loss by working with Bill McMinn [manager of facilities] to install weather stripping around the doors and the buildings.

Becky Coffey

We have only had small problems. A few teachers have had problems with their new phone numbers...things like that. The teachers and students have both said how much they like it here. We wouldn't have been able to open this building without a great effort from the managerial and custodial staff. They have done a wonderful job and I want to thank them for that. It has been a good process.

David Madden

I want big business to pay their share. We could create revenue to go back into our education fund. If we took back that lost revenue, we wouldn't have any more poor teachers.

Don Jesser

Most of these students' records are underwater, gone forever. We will make adjustments where appropriate to meet whatever needs they have. They've got good teachers and counselors to take them in. We expect them to join us and do really well.

Mike Harper

Some people are teachers or in other busy careers and just can't come in during the day.

Shelly Daley

We are tremendously pleased with the results of the contest. All the entries were wonderful. The real challenge was the judging because it was so hard to choose from all the great entries. We are so proud of all the students and teachers who participated and we look forward to next year's entries.

Margi Schiemann

We know what gets cut first. It?s going to be the maintenance of the buildings. It?s going to be professional development for teachers, and after that, it?s going to go right on down the line to school staffing.

Anne Miller

It's about business and it's just a strict learning environment. There's no distractions. The teachers care. Everybody is just so supporting and it's just a great environment to be around.

Jacob Walton

Teachers are being forced to take a stand against an unjust law. It's this government that intervened and passed an unjust law while we were negotiating within the rules they made.

Jinny Sims

Parents are thoroughly impressed with the FAME program and especially the expertise of our teachers. They express how wonderful this program is for their child and how much they wish they had a program like this when they went to school.

Brigitte Donlon

I am very honored to be here and represent the U.S. and just to get the experience. I took my finals last week. They were supposed to be this week, but my teachers let me take them early.

Alissa Czisny

I was probably the one who tattled on the class clown, ... To get in good with the teachers.

Christine Lavin

I'm going to keep on praying. I feel the urgency of time. We're adults. We'll regroup, but the children are impressionable. Those children need their teachers.

Ronnette Smith

I probably should have gone to the board first. But I went to the teachers first to see how they felt about it. It was a team decision, and we still sit down each year to see if this is something they still want to do.

Beth Olmstead

I'm excited to be at the primary level and know when the kids leave Aux Sable they are going to be prepared for the junior high. I get to work with the students, parents and teachers from day one of their schooling.

Sam Martin

With the budget we have right now, we can replace our computers every 16 years. Basically, we can't continue as-is. The downfall is that our students will fall behind and we'll lose teachers. The other idea is to increase the technology budget.

Keith Mullins

I feel like somebody's got to speak up. The teachers aren't allowed to. Here i am!

Thelma Franek

We have had as many as 97 and as few as 27. I'm always prepared with extra teachers because I never know.

Ina Faye Price

You're talking this many forms per child, and the teachers are so stressed out and bogged down with it that you are taking time away from the child. We showed (the new system) to the area supervisors and they were just amazed at what the program could do.

Debbie Harris

We have some real problems with it, how it came about and how it reports to measure outstanding teachers. The state decided to make the rule effective immediately and didn't bother to ask [teachers] for input.

Mark Pudlow

I loved being in the classroom. I feel like I can help more kids this way and help teachers be able to make the day for kids go well.

Shelli Adams

Teachers have been saying that kids are studying in groups now. We want there to be a real continuity with the schools. It's a way to tie into the whole education system.

Douglas Henderson

I was overwhelmed at their creativity and dedication to making what they felt was a really good stamp that consumers in the school would buy. They were so confident that (the teachers) rarely had to be at either post-office location. The students knew exactly what to do and welcomed the challenge.

Angi Brunney

We've been so encouraged with the direction this school has taken — with the new reading teachers and forward thinking. To have this go on is so disappointing. We don't want to go backwards.

Ann Cody

We felt like last year we made a statement and obviously the governor has heard our voice and is willing to listen. People finally understand that health insurance is a priority to teachers and state employees.

Susan Robertson

Today's results are further evidence of rising standards in our education system and this is a clear reflection of the hard work of our young people and their teachers. I congratulate them on their achievements - they should take pride in these results.

Jacqui Smith

The kids are really the innocent victims. We value what [teachers] bring to the classroom and think legislation has to be fair. We just don't want our kids put in the crossfire.

Suzanne Matarese

We lov'd the doctrine for the teachers sake.

Daniel Defoe

Offering this type of selective incentive instead of a substantial pay raise for teachers across the board is like trying to put the icing on a cake that has yet to be baked.

Linda Bridges

They know they can call me no matter when. An English teacher's not going to have the time.

Anne Haverland

There are a lot of high schools where teachers have not put enough emphasis on grammar, punctuation and writing fundamentals.

Will Sutton

Several teachers complained about it.

Pam Killingsworth

Our highly qualified teachers not only work hard, but they care about each and every student that enters their classroom. I thank you, Montana teachers, for your sense of duty and compassion to our precious future generation.

Conrad Burns

Being that they major in history, if they wanted to be teachers, they could use their knowledge from taking these tours to make other students more excited about history.

Joshua Simmons

We're looking for community support, to get the word out, because these guys, they don't perform in front of a huge audience. It's teachers and it's family that come to the games. (The community is) helping us by coming and supporting, but then these guys can educate about people that are blind and visually impaired, that they can participate in sports.

Kirstin Peahl

Newer teachers also have a broader perspective on literature.

Larry Johannessen

I met Mary McLeod Bethune, and it took her 50 or 60 years to get a statue. Had he [Carter] erected a statue to his teachers, it would have been a whole other thing.

Judy Conte

These kids were so bright and mature. They had been hand picked by their teachers and were such a help to us.

Kay Scruggs

Teachers can also prepare packets for them. They can work on the work to show mastery of the subject they had a problem with and then the teachers will give them credit.

Superintendent Faye Sprouse

This case is about the obligation the agency has to do a background check on someone with access to your home and access to the most cherished possession in the home, namely children. In a society that does background checks on bus drivers and teachers, the nanny industry seems to have slipped behind some dark corner.

Bernard Clair

I think we're on the right track. We can now finally have classrooms at the schools, where we can collaborate with other classrooms and interact with other teachers.

Carol Lee Huffman

I don't understand that logic. How would you suggest that you free up teachers in the classroom if you don't put more personnel in the schools?

Michael Loomis

Another piece of research shows that teacher's expectations depend a lot on how students are treated or motivated. It affects the entire quality of learning for those individuals, and this creates handicaps.

Naci Mocan

Currently, a lot of coaches are not truly trained in coaching cheerleading. They are just teachers that take on the responsibility and don't know what they're doing.

Brenda Shields

I tell the younger teachers, those with children, to stay away — I'm radioactive. If I lose my job, it's no big deal. I'll go out and find another one.

Joe Baltz

I will work to attract and support great teachers and principals to our schools, and push to remove unacceptable ones.

Ron Saxton

You learn more quickly under the guidance of experienced teachers. You waste a lot of time going down blind alleys if you have no one to lead you.

W. Somerset Maugham

I got two teachers that just graduated from Alabama. I bet I made 60 calls.

Tom Keating

It was just my grandmother's role-modeling and my goal of always wanting to be working with kids. I always liked teachers and I figured that somewhere along the line that's where I needed to be. No matter what age I started, that's where I was going to end up.

Cindi Simpson

I support it because I think we need to be on par with the state so that we can attract and retain good teachers. We need, at the very least, to look at what other counties in our area are doing.

William Shelton

On one hand, we've got to get all these new teachers up to speed regarding our institutions policies, ... On the other hand, new blood is good.

William Hull

They've given a green light to any creationist throughout the state to bring these issues into the classroom. Science teachers are not prepared for that discussion and don't want it, because they've got plenty of science to teach.

Jack Krebs

The children already are learning about the Holocaust from their teachers and curricula produced by the West Virginia Holocaust Education Commission and donated to the schools by the Federated Jewish Charities of Huntington. This program will reinforce what they have learned about a tragic period in history.

Niza Uslan

I was a troublemaker. I would start fights with other kids and disturb class. He's taught me good manners, how to be respectful and not to talk back to my teachers.

Daniel Torres

We hope that teachers will come back to work and we'll be able to open our schools again quickly.

Michael Hancock

Teachers are people too and they can lose patience just as well as anyone can. Everyone's got their level of tolerance. Even the best of folks can lose it now and then.

Kathy Christie

Teachers and textbooks... those are the two most costly items our districts will incur. That's what they're hoping the federal government will pick up the tab for.

Suzanne Marchman

There's not enough teachers for every classroom that we have.

Donna Mutzenard

The administrators and teachers have opened doors for parents. The more parents participate, the better academic results the kids will have.

Maria Gonzalez

We had 150 people attend an information session in Rice Lake. That tells you how confusing it is. Organizations, such as the Wisconsin Retired Teachers Association, are holding their own meetings and making recommendations to their members.

Mary Simpson

We have excellent teachers at every school. We have the same curriculum at every school. All of our schools are 100 percent accredited. One school might be newer. One school might be older. ... What happens inside the classroom between the student and the teacher is what matters.

Bethanne Bradshaw

I find the facilities here great. The teachers I've got to get used to their lingo and they've got to get used to mine. We tend to speak slang and sometimes that causes trouble, but I'm working on it.

John Sutherland

All the teachers have discussed this with their students.

Bill Fletcher

At KIPP schools we believe that data and results should drive the day-to-day, so our principals are trained to make decisions, with teachers, about instruction on a regular basis.

Pam Moeller

We need motivated educators, and bureaucrats aren't helping anything, ... If they prove motivated, dedicated educators, tenure should be awarded quickly. Why should the best teachers worry about whether they'll be teaching tomorrow?

Colin Brown

What I am opposed to is the perpetuation of immersion courses. We sometimes can undersell these qualified students. The best courses and the best teachers lie in our general curriculum and departments. The ELL is not something we permanently want to maintain students in.
