"In a completely rational society, the best of us would aspire
to be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for less, because
passing civilization along from one generation to the next ought to be the
highest honor and the highest responsibility anyone could have ." -- Lee
Iacocca
"For too long, professional development for high school teachers has meant either taking yet another university mathematics course (with no connection to what we teach) or taking a workshop about teaching (with no mathematics in it at all)..." pg. xiii Mathematical Connections, by Al Cuoco.
