Quotes

"His ability to engage students in science, technology, engineering and math is unsurpassed in the whole country," said Inslee, "We need to help teachers across the state of Washington have the ability to do just what Jeff has done at Zillah High School. We're dedicated to that."
At the White House, said Cort, "all the teachers waited in the Roosevelt Room, then went into the Oval Office to take our picture with the President. I spoke French to him and he responded back!"
...to the effect of boy you really love your job, and I said with all do respect sir I have the greatest job in the world," said Charbonneau. "I wouldn't want yours, and he turned and said teaching that's where it's at and then just really gave a lot of credit to the teachers in his own life."
...speech, Charbonneau revamped the "lagging" science curriculum at the school--introducing more difficult and even college-level courses--because he "wanted to convince kids that something like quantum mechanics wasn't something to run away from, but something to dive into."
