Person

Benjamin Netanyahu Quote: “Certainly the international community is putting…”

Taylor Mali Quote: “The poem ‘What Teachers Make’ is…”

The poem ‘What Teachers Make’ is not without its detractors. This one person wrote to me and said: ‘Gee, Mr. Mali. You don’t possibly have a teacher-God complex, do you?’ And that was the first time I’d ever heard of that expression. So, yeah, I’m sure I have a teacher-God complex.
