I just had the pleasure of hearing him give this speech in person for a new teacher/new to district event for the Houston Independent School District. Very inspiring!
I received a Masters of Arts in Teaching degree in May. I had it framed. Then I spent the first half of the summer looking for a good land-fill to throw it in. But I've made the decision to teach, and its because of Rafe Esquith. So, I am, in the interest of doing good, I'm entering a state sponsored criminal conspiracy. I'm convinced that Socrates and Confusious would have done the same. My goal is not to be as good as Rafe Esquith: it is merely to be better than the wicked.
If every teacher would be like this teacher, our whole entire world would be different. This is what we need: time, perseverance, dedication and love. This teacher really loves what he does.
Rafe, you are such an inspiration to teachers across the country, veteran and new. If I didn't live all the way in Alaska I would come visit your classroom and pick your brain.
wow 40 wonderful minutes. I laughed I cried. I was inspired!
