This is a
special recognition week for many of our employees. First is Teacher
Appreciation Week. When I am out in the community I have stated countless
times that the Oak Ridge Schools’ teaching staff is the best I have ever seen.
I say that as superintendent…and I say it as a father of an Oak Ridge Schools’ student. Our community,
parents, and students are so fortunate to have the caliber of professionals
that we have teaching in our classrooms.
Please
join me in thanking all of these staff members for the excellent service that
they provide to our district and all they do to help our students be
successful.
The dream
begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to
the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called
"truth." ~Dan Rather
If a doctor,
lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had
different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing
trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat
them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some
conception of the classroom teacher's job. ~Donald D. Quinn
