Wanted!

More to improve and fewer to disapprove.

More doers and fewer talkers.

More to say it can be done
and fewer to say it's impossible.

More to inspire others
and fewer to throw cold water on them.

More to get into the thick of things
and fewer to sit on the sidelines.

More to point out what's right
and fewer to show what's wrong.

More to light a candle
and fewer to curse the darkness.

Teachers tell why they teach

A group of teachers in Georgia all agree on one thing -- that their students keep them in the classroom despite all the challenges that come with their jobs. In the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, one teacher writes:

When you believe that all students can learn and have the opportunity to prove it, a wonderful thing happens. You see a light come on, a face smiles, a quiet determination, a few tears -- from students, parents and even teachers.
