"Bha mi ag obair le tidsear bho chionn fhada a bhiodh ag ràdh tric gur e an tidsear an goireas as fheàrr a th’ againn gus ar cànan a chumail beò. Bidh mi a’ smaoineachadh air na briathran aice bho àm gu àm agus tha sin gam chumail ceart! ’S e tidsearan de dh’àrd chàileachd ann an seòmar-sgoile Gàidhlig a bhios a’ toirt buaidh shàr-mhath air adhartas nan sgoilearan."

"I once worked with a teacher who said that the teacher was the absolutely best resource we had for keeping Gaelic alive. I think about her words often to keep myself going! Teachers of the highest quality in the Gaelic classroom have an incredibly positive impact upon pupils’ attainment."
