”Cada persona en esta sala puede apuntar a un maestro que cambió la trayectoria de sus vidas. La mayoría de maestros trabajan sin descanso, con una paga modesta - a veces escarbando en su propio bolsillo para material escolar, sólo para hacer una diferencia. Los docentes cuentan. Así que en lugar de golpearlos, o defender el statu quo, vamos a ofrecer a las escuelas a un acuerdo: démosles los recursos para mantener a los buenos maestros en el trabajo y mantener a los mejores. Y a cambio, otorgar flexibilidad escuelas para enseñar con creatividad y pasión, y dejar de enseñar para el examen - y para reemplazar a los maestros que no le están ayudando los niños a aprender. Eso es una ganga vale la pena. ” - Barack Obama
Every person in this chamber can point to a teacher who changed the trajectory of their lives. Most teachers work tirelessly, with modest pay — sometimes digging into their own pocket for school supplies, just to make a difference. Teachers matter. So instead of bashing them, or defending the status quo, let’s offer schools a deal: give them the resources to keep good teachers on the job and keep the best ones. And in return, grant schools flexibility to teach with creativity and passion, and stop teaching to the test — and to replace teachers who just aren’t helping kids learn. That’s a bargain worth making.
