Found this, love it.
We must reject the ideology of the “achievement gap” that absolves
adults of their responsibility and implies student culpability in
continued under-performance. The student achievement gap is merely the
effect of a much larger and more debilitating chasm: The Educator
Achievement Gap. We must erase the distance between the type of
teachers we are, and the type of teachers they need us to be.

Reminds me of a quote that used to hang in a colleague’s office:
If you’ve told him how to do it a million times and he still doesn’t get it, then who is the slow learner?

Excellent quote thanks for posting! It reminds me also of Einstein’s famous definition of Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results… which seems to be what many school teachers try to do with students that “can’t learn”
