summer, you said it all. I have another experience. (I believe I related it before, but at my age I get to do things over). At a math teachers conference the speaker claimed that the best teachers should work with the slowest learners, after all, they are the ones who need help the most and the best teacher is in the best position to know what to do.

Next he said that the best teachers should be working with the most gifted students, because they deserve to go as far as they can and the best teachers can take them there.

Finally he said that a strong case can be made for the best teachers teaching the ones in the middle too, how can you deny the skills of the best teachers to any student?

This made a impresion on me, and I never want to see anyone teaching except the best giving their best. (Which is why I have so many complaints about education in my state.)
