•I like a teacher who gives you something to take

home to think about besides homework.

•Teaching is the profession that

teaches all the other professions.

•Good Teachers are costly but bad

teachers cost more.

•Today’s students are no longer the people our educational system was

designed to teach.

•We need to prepare our students to be effective 21st Century Citizens.

•The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life.

•One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He argued, "What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his bestoption in life was to become a teacher?"

To stress his point he said to another guest; "You're a teacher, Barbara. Be honest. What do you make?"

Barbara, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness replied, "You want to know what I make?

(She paused for a second, and then began...)

"Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could”. I make a slow learner feel like the Congressional Medal of Honor winner. I make kids sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents CAN'T make them sit for 5 without an I Pod, Game Cube or movie rental.

You want to know what I make? (She paused again and looked at each and every person at the

table)

I make kids wonder.

I make them question.

I make them apologize and mean it.

I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions.

I teach them to write and then I make them write. Keyboarding ISN'T EVERYTHING.

I make them read, read, read.

I make them show all their work in maths. They use their God givenbrain, not the man-made calculator.

I make my students from other countries learn everything they need to know about English while preserving their unique cultural identity.

I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe.

• Finally, I make them understand that if they use the gifts they were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life.

• (Barbara paused one last time and then continued.)

Then, when people try to judge me by what I make, with me knowing money isn't everything, I can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are ignorant.

You want to know what I make?

I MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

What do you make Mr. CEO?

His jaw dropped, he went silent.

THIS IS WORTH SHARING WITH EVERY TEACHER, EVERY CEO, AND EVERY PERSON

YOU KNOW.

Even all your personal teachers like mothers, fathers, brothers, SISTERS, COACHES AND

OTHERS.  

A profound answer!!!
