Our angry friends tell us we are lazy. We have a easy job. We only work 185 days a year for less than eight hours a day, not like having a real job. They disparage our work ethic and our value to society.
Well, John Wooden legendary basketball coach thought different. You may remember him as the UCLA basketball coach whose teams won more games and more national championships then any other coach in any sport ever. But long before he was a nationally famous college basketball coach he was a high school English teacher in a public school.
You may also know that John Wooden is famous for his short pithy sayings. Here is what he said about public school teachering:
"I think the teaching profession contributes more to the future of our society than any other single profession," he once said. "I'm glad I was a teacher." *
The next time our angry ANTI public education friends, who blog at the North County Times, post some outrageous lie about incredibly dedicated public school teachers, remember what John Wooden said about us. John Wooden had more credibility in is left little finger than all our angry ANTI public education detractors put together.
Do you think that Jim Gibson would ever say anything like John Wooden said that about teachers? or Dr. Stephen Guffanti? or any of their supporters?
Know why we fight these people and never give up the fight for righteous cause of FACT based public education.
