I could never have a better teacher in those days than my father.

My father still is a lawyer, and my mom was a teacher and then later a career counselor.

My dad remembers being in school with my uncle, and the teacher would say outright to the class that the Japanese were second-class citizens and shouldn't be trusted.

Children are already accustomed to a world that moves faster and is more exciting than anything a teacher in front of a classroom can do.

We can not wait until we have enough trained people willing to work at a teacher's salary and under conditions imposed upon teachers in order to improve what happens in the classroom.
