“Please think of the children first. If you ever have anything to do with their entertainment, their food, their toys, their custody, their child care, their health care, their education—listen to the children, learn about them, learn from them. Think of the children first.”

1st year teaching should be a residency. A lighter work load, a lot of mentoring, observing, & minimal accountability. Too many good teachers are expected to “sink or swim” & guess what. They usually sink! Is this the best way to prepare them? One reason for the high attrition!
