San Bruno Teachers: What Positive Lesson Has Another Teacher Taught You?

U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan posed an interesting question on his Twitter account on Wednesday that I'm sure many teachers here have asked themselves.

His tweet simply stated: "Teachers: What is one positive lesson you learned from another teacher this year?"

A number of responses took jabs at the emphasis on test scores in public schools, but others showed that the reason why teachers are so beloved is because they know how to be good students themselves.

Here are some of the responses to Duncan's #teachtalk tweet:

@danielsobczak: @arneduncan students and teachers are so much more than test scores and shouldn't be reduced to a single score. #teachtalk

@omekongo: @arneduncan that there's not an achievement gap but a teaching gap when it comes to cultural competency and reaching all students #teachtalk

@IslandGirlLBI: @arneduncan That my worth as an educator is evaluated by 'aha moments' I see in the eyes of my students & not by test scores. #teachtalk

@javamaude: RT @arneduncan:#teachtalk no matter how many hours it takes to finish all the new paperwork to do the same job,the kids are still priority 1
