Three keys to being a great teacher:

1. Have students who are safe and well nourished, not victims of systemic discrimination, and live in supportive home environments.

2. Work in an educational system that has stable long-term funding and is administered by people who respect your professional expertise.

3. Ignore people who put all the responsibility for being a great teacher on you rather than saying that collective action to achieve #1 and #2 are what will actually make a difference.
