In our rush...

"In our rush to reform education, we have forgotten this simple truth:  reform will never be achieved by renewing appropriations, restructuring schools, rewriting curriculum, and revising texts if we continue to demean and dishearten the human resource called the teach on whom so much depends...if we fail to cherish - and challenge - the human heart that is the source of good teaching."  Parker Palmer, Courage to Teach
