[clears throat] We don't have to worry about curriculum. I mean, we do have to worry about curriculum, but the focus is the kids. The focus isn't meetings. The focus isn't paperwork. The focus isn't just all the things that weigh teachers down. Yes, we have to do that, but the focus is kids.

I see that every day with the staff around me. The way the English department is set up, we can hear each other when you're teaching. They pop in and check on each other.
