So why would any teacher waffle when asked to clearly define what they need to be successful– or shy away from overtly demanding control over their own working conditions? If my house is on fire, I want skilled (and adequately compensated) firefighters. I’m not about to insert my own Foley catheter, should the need arise–I want a well-trained nurse. For my children, I want self-confident teachers who can articulate their own values, goals and essential tools. Teachers who aren’t afraid to get angry and speak up when they’re maligned, misunderstood or mistreated.
