~ Yvonne Mains
Yvonne is a colleague of ours at Bark River Harris Schools, in the central Upper Peninsula of Michigan. She spoke these words when I was feeling down about whether the world would soon need flesh-n-blood teachers, what with so much distance- and programmed-learning available. It cheered me up, actually, and still does, whenever I think, "You know, these kids could read/view/practice all this stuff themselves." But then the rejoinder comes to mind, thanks to Yvonne:"They could . . . but we are the great explainers."
