Last week, Obama discussed his blueprint for an updated Elementary and Secondary Education Act to overhaul No Child Left Behind. It's nice to see that it fits with my personal beliefs that teachers need support in their important yet daunting job. Some quotes below:
"So yes, we will set a high bar, but also provide educators the flexibility to reach it."
"Because the most important factor in a child's success is the person standing in the front of the classroom, we will better prepare teachers, support teachers and encourage teachers to stay in their field. In short, we'll treat the people who educate our sons and daughters like the professionals they are."
