Great teaching - just plain old knock 'em dead, get it right, make 'em laugh, make 'em wonder instruction - is always going to be rare. Good teachers abound. Great ones are special.
That is the difference between good teachers and great teachers: good teachers make the best of a pupil's means; great teachers foresee a pupil's ends.
Good teachers know how to bring out the best in students.
It's not about where you were born or where you come from that makes you a good scientist. What you need are good teachers, co-students, facilities.

We have to provide good teachers, good environment, community involvement with schools.
