Education is getting 100 billiion in the US stimulus package. Where should the money go?
Studies show that teachers are important. Nicholas Kristoff, in a New York Times essay on February 16, wrote "First, good teachers matter more than anything; they are astonishingly important. It turns out that having a great teacher is far more important than being in a small class, or going to a good school with a mediocre teacher."
Care to comment?

I definetely gotta agree with this point of view. It's all about the quality of relationships that we have. A teacher is part of our character's construction. Even though we're not kids or teenagers anymore, I still feel that a teacher can influence my choices and thoughts. That's why I expect to be lucky enough to find good masters along the way. Thank you, Pat!
