“Most of our qualified teachers are under paid, and many of our paid teachers are unqualified. So we must give every child a place to sit and a teacher to learn from. Poverty must not be a bar to learning, and learning must offer an escape from poverty.”- Lyndon B. Johnson

is far higher than the price of change.”- William (Bill)

These four quotes are very inspiring and motivational to me. They all represent what I feel early childhood educators should embody in their knowledge to become the best professionals they can be.
First, I just wanted to say that I enjoyed reading all those quotes and how much they ring true. It is amazing to me that President Johnson saw a problem all those years ago and yet we are still having the same problem. What do you think it will take for a huge change to take place?
ReplyDeleteI love them, I also was shocked that Lyndon Johnson said that,I don't follow politics but I was interested in seeing the presidents and hopefuls speak on education. I also liked Hilary's quote because you learn that early on in your Early childhood career that always remember that the parents are the child's first teachers.
