"I think more and more respect has been accorded to teachers, and quite rightly so." ― Michael Gove Topic(s): Respect More From Michael Gove "The single most important thing in a child’s performance is the quality of the teacher. Making sure a child spends the maximum amount of time with inspirational teachers is the most important thing." "One of the problems we’ve had is that the ICT curriculum in the past has been written for a subject that is changing all the time. I think that what we should have is computer science in the future – and how it fits in to the curriculum is something we need to be talking to scientists, to experts in coding and to young people about." "The big shift in approach on education that we are taking – which is different from what happened before – is that we trust teachers and we trust heads." More In Respect "I’m looking at working with people I get on with, that respect me, that don’t just see me as a piece of ass. Which I have experienced as well. I’ve nearly walked off very big films before, and I would, because I don’t want that in my life. I want to enjoy the work I do."― Gemma Arterton "Until we respect bin Laden, we are going to die in numbers that are probably unnecessary."― Michael Scheuer "You treat a kid with respect and as an adult you talk to them as if they’re smart people. But you don’t throw at them the trappings of adulthood and you know, the darker stuff."― Dave Eggers
