[quote=Anonymous]Of course, the flip side of what he said is that certain environments make it easy to teach well -- e.g. small groups, smart kids.  Which, of course, is why we seek out those environments for our kids.  If my DC is well-taught I don't really care what part of that I should attribute to the intrinsic strength and excellence of the teachers vs. the environment.  It's a package deal.

And, in general, I'd much prefer to work in an environment where administration sets me (and my colleagues) up to succeed than in one where there are lots of obstacles in the way of me doing my job well.  That's not because I can only perform well under easy circumstances or because I'm lazy.  It's because I have very high standards and like to set ambitious goals.

Which is not to say that there aren't other laudable ways of doing a job or people who seek different kinds of rewards (e.g. helping the least well off) -- just to point out that the allure of a good working environment can be that it helps you soar -- not that it lets you coast.  [/quote]
