Students who are subjected to an inspiring and rigorous instructional regimen are bound to make dramatic and significant gains in their learning undertaking. Teachability does not fall from the sky. It is made and orchestrated from the desk of a teacher with cooperation from the student and a little support from the parent. It is earned and achieved through hard work and unrelenting emphasis on classroom instruction.
