  • That said, I’m surprised more teachers don’t run. I would go to bat for my best teachers. The really great ones also had at least a 19:1 ratio of kids who liked them.

    They’re good at speaking, even in front of a noisy crowd, they need a thick skin and to be able to shut down a kid who is out of line, and they’re empathetic and intellectually curious. Most of the good teachers I know are also deeply idealistic, which could go either way, but they’d at least have a political vision.

    A bad teacher is awful, but a good one seems like they’d make a good politician.
