You are absolutely right that democracy in education is fairly teacher driven. I believe these educators are just so full of passion that really they go above and beyond.

If a teacher thinks the material is boring and treats it like a task, then students will too! However, if a teacher is passionate then the students will at least be curious to why. activ_educator,

Thank you for sharing the lyrics. I think people might cast us as idealists, but as you pointed out educators should have a passion for educating. We have an immediate and lasting impact on the future and if we aren't passionate about what we teach and about learning, then can we really expect students to be? I will join you Marisa in your passion! Marisa,

Quality education should be given to all and sundry and no one should be left behind. Administration should take care of all. Teachers should strive hard to impart quality education. You have worked with under privileged students without any facilities and tried your best to provide them education, is really an achievement on your part. It should be the duty of all teachers to have a vision and passion like the character Don Quixote and i am very happy that you have that. Thanks for your vision and passion. Amazing indeed.
