“We can’t expect an English teacher to teach without access to literature. We can’t expect a music teacher to teach without employing actual music.

That means more than just the necessary novel sets or science labs. It also includes a comprehensive preparation program that begins when they first set foot on a college campus and continues until they have become a teacher of record.”
