Those Who Can Do, Those Who Can TEACH!

Most of us in education have heard that old adage, “those who can do, those who can’t teach.”  Teachers are the heart and soul of education and, as such, are critical to the future of our great nation.  The old adage is wrong.  All doctors, philosophers, executives, and scientists (to name but a few professions) had inspirational teachers – even politicians went to school!

Just remember: You are the best.  You care about, nurture, and grow our children and youth.  You are one of those who can, you are one of those who can TEACH!
