I met Ron Clark, the 2000 Outstanding Teacher of the Year, last fall at Disney’s American Teacher Awards. He’d not only traveled from East Harlem to Los Angeles to receive his award but he’d raised more than $25,000 to bring his entire class with him. As I watched the video about Ron’s life and his decision to relocate from North Carolina to one of the toughest areas of Harlem, I was moved to tears. What I saw in Ron that day left me humbled and inspired—I could literally feel his deep sense of love for and connection with his students.

Good for him. I bet even in private the students refer to him as Mr. Clark.

I don’t even like to drive through NYC and would not think of stopping anymore.
