The Value of Teachers

Posted on January 11, 2012

Everyone knows how important it is for students to have “good” teachers but I think we can all learn something from Nicholas Kristof’s article and perhaps in the Jewish community we can find a better approach then removing some of the best teachers from their classroom into administration. We need great teachers and great principals but I think we need to realize that the skill sets are radically different and we often do a great disservice to the community at large but taking great teachers out of the classroom.
