There’s been a lot of talk lately about rewarding the good teachers and rooting out the bad ones. I’m all for that. The thing is, I’m not sure how to go about telling one from the other in a definitive fashion. I was raised in Kooskia and went to Clearwater Valley schools from kindergarten through 12th grade. There was usually about 20 to 25 kids in my classes. I didn’t know enough to worry about class sizes back then. All I knew is that the classes felt too small when it was time for math contests and too large when it came time to read aloud. (I didn’t like math and I loved reading.) I pretty much liked all of my teachers for different reasons/Susan Engle, Lewiston Tribune. More here.
