School teachers

Why we must honor them, respect them, and pay them

Friends,

I wanted to share with you this new video tribute to my third-grade teacher Alice Camp, the teacher who changed my life. It’s a tribute to all teachers, many of whom start their school years this week.

I’ve already shared with you my thoughts and feelings about Mrs. Camp, but I thought you’d like to see this video version (produced by my young colleague Michael Lahanas-Calderon) because it gives an added dimension into what teachers do — and why they’re so central to our lives, our children’s lives, and our future.

Please feel free to share.
