The March 27 headline School board hears pleas to save the
best teachers
did not seem to me to capture the essence of the article.
Was it not to save the teachers with the expertise to best teach a particular subject matter they knew best? Was it not to teach a particular age group they had experience in and understood best? Was it not the qualities and contributions they could best make if they were in the positions that best met their qualifications?
Then that expertise, their qualifications and that experience might just lead to the confidence, the passion, and the dedication that best teachers have!
