"People at school can...influence children's development in ways similar to competent parents. To be successful, schools must create the conditions that make good development and learning possible: positive and powerful social and academic interactions between students and staff." (AMERICAN PROSPECT) The author states that in order to realize the full potential of the education system, schools must hire administrators and educators who possess both the knowledge of their disciplines and a familiarity with how children develop generally and academically.
