Bonnie Oppermann.  When I was a librarian and audiovisual coordinator at a public school, I had to apologize to an incoming English teacher from the mainland because I didn't have a working overhead projector to give him right away.  He said, "Don't worry about that.  If I have chalk, chalk boards, and books--and you have a great literature collection this library--I can teach students to read, write, and love literature."  In his one year at my school, he proved himself correct.  Sadly, the economic realities of living in Hawaii sent him back to the mainland after one year.  Broke my heart.  I realize high school is different from elementary school, but I sometimes think teaching focuses too much on things.  Heck, when I was a kid, I could make a decent paper airplane with yesterday's newspaper.  If the teacher wanted to talk about the engineering and physics of flying that plane, I was up for that, too.
