Most teachers in America could dramatically improve their teaching if they just made every second count.
I attended the University of Louisville my freshman year, transferred to what was then Western Kentucky State Teachers College for my sophomore and junior years, and then graduated from the University of Louisville in the summer of 1961.
I encourage teachers to speak in their own voices. Don't use the gibberish of the standards writers.
When I was in junior high, I went to a really hippy dippy Quaker school where we called our teachers by their first names and stuff.
