To whom do your children look up? Inspirational Teachers

Have you seen

this great post about inspirational engineers? To wit:

…One of the topics I care about is engineers making a real difference in the world. I lived in Singapore and Nigeria while I was growing up and traveled widely. My father was a professor of engineering (chemical, industrial), statistics and business. He was very interested in applying technology and human knowledge to help people have better lives, and I share that interest.

People like William Kamkwamba are the people that are worthy of respect. I wish the USA was more focused on people that are worthy of attention, instead of who the news media choose to show and people choose to read about. At least a few of you seem to like reading about those I do, based on the traffic this blog receives (well actually that would be a pretty poor metric, let say the attention popular science sites, magazines, podcasts, TV shows… receive) ….MORE….

I really resonate with this post; I think American kids far too often worship and adore people who are nice and shiny on the surface….but have virtually zero substance where it counts.

Share with your children the above…and also the resource, Teacher Inspiration. Dozens of excellent stories abound there that will really open the eyes.

Hope you enjoy,

Owlbert
