[quote=Anonymous][quote]Teachers are *not* the most important people in the process. What makes you think that? That's like saying an infantryman is the most important part in a battle. He's not -- the general and the strategist is.[/quote] False analogy. The "general" in education has no idea what is going on in all the classrooms of America. The general in the military is monitoring the ground moment by moment on a daily basis. He is "seeing the field" in detail. He has the ability to do this and he knows how important this is. He is not making plans without seeing the ground as fully as he can in a lot of detail. The military is a "top down" institution. It has to be. Education is very cooperative and collaborative. It has to be. Teachers are not the same as infantrymen (at least not the way you are painting infantrymen).[/quote]
