Quote

There should be more situations in which two experienced teachers share the same class, teaching and observing the same group of kids, thinking, and talking to each other, about what they see and hear. Schools can’t afford to support this; they can barely pay the one teacher in each class. I should think foundations might be willing to support this kind of work. They seem ready at the drop of a hat to spend millions of dollars on grandiose projects which produce, in the main, only publicity and doctoral dissertations. Perhaps they feel that to have two teachers learn a great deal more about children than they knew before is not worth spending money on. If so, I think they’re wrong.
