A few weeks ago, I attended a conference attended by hundreds of inspiring teachers.  During a panel on “The Purpose of Schoola,” Steven Squyres made a fantastic comment.  He said that one purpose of schooling should be to “open students eyes to what is possible.”

Tonight’s NBC Nightly News had a great story about a teacher who is doing just that.  It is a story about a teacher, kids, and a great bulletin board.  

Watch the story here.

Brian Williams writes a short post on his blog about the story, but it is the first commenter that really rings true-

At the end of the story, Brian Williams said, “the magic of a mirror”.  This is true.  However, in my opinion, it is the magic of a GREAT TEACHER!!!  – Wendy Thomas
