r.e.s.p.e.c.t.

Good teachers are THE key to our nation's prosperity. Let's make sure they are given the priority, motivation, education, and opportunities they deserve so they can ensure the future of our nation. Check out this article about the government's plan to increase spending for creating great teachers. If we really want to see our country thrive, restoring our education system should be our top priority. And that starts with great teachers.

"We need to change society's views of teaching...where teachers are revered as thinkers, leaders, and nation builders. No other profession carries a greater burder for securing our economic future. No other profession holds out more promise of opportunity to children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. And no other profession deserves more respect."

Couldn't have said it better myself.
