mrs. campbell. she was tough as nails. they would come back with more red ink than blue. she pushed me to think better. she pushed me to write better. she is interesting. she asked us all tons and tons of questions. but there was never a right answer. it's about getting us to think critically, to express ourselves verbally and on paper. but also to hear the arguments of the peers. that ability to listen is so hugely prnt. i would never have begun to be able to do what i am doing today was it not for mrs. mccampbell. you said we have a challenge but we have a huge opportunity. we're so pleased to hay nouns a new national campaign to recruit the next generation of teachers into education. why is it so important? two facts. we have a baby boomer generation moving towards retirement over the next five, six, seven years we anticipate as many as a million teachers retiring. our ability to retract and retain great talent will reshape public education. it is a generational shift. we're going to pull out all the stops and travel the country to help bring in the new generation of t
