Who's the best public advocate or role model for educators?
It would not be any of the ones you listed...they aren't teachers and I don't think they get classrooms. I think they understand as much as someone can who hasn't done it and done it for a long while...but they don't represent my views on teaching. Maybe they get learning but not teaching.
I think I would pick another teacher. Probably someone who had won the Presidential Award in Math or Scienc Teaching...or a National Board Certified Teacher. They have real knowledge and could advocate for the things that would matter.
