If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you know that I find a lot of topics in the newspaper – especially USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and New York Times. When I see an article that I might want to blog about, I clip it. About a month ago, (October 19) I clipped an article from USA Today that announced the USA Today 2006 All USA Teacher Team.
To paraphrase Rodney Dangerfield, “teachers don’t get no respect”. So, in an effort at giving some very deserving teachers the respect they deserve, I’m happy to list the 20 teachers on the 2006 All USA Teacher Team.
