A Conversation with Davis Guggenheim

Check out the awesome documentary "Waiting for Superman"!

I love this simple animation of what truly is the heart and soul of our education system - GREAT teachers. Teachers who have the passion to nurture students and give them the best will source the best programs and curriculum in the world to teach their students with. Great teachers will pull weaker students after class/school for remedial sessions. Great teachers will serve as trusting and wise mentors when parents are not available to fill those shoes. For those of you who are thinking of starting a teaching career, ask yourself one question: "How far are you willing to do to be truly GREAT?"  Parents should remember that they are "teachers" to their children as well. Parents, are you willing to spend time with your own child to teach them secular things in addition to spiritual and moral subjects? Let's all try to be GREAT teachers for the future of generations to come!
