‘Stand and Deliver’
I speak in defense of our teachers. Recently, I viewed the movie “Stand and Deliver.” It tells about a teacher who fought the system. The results were fantastic. He took students who were pushed aside because it was assumed they didn’t have the intelligence to learn. We have some fantastic teachers--so let’s untie their hands. Our students are in need of good education.
