The Teachers Group
The teachers employed by the Tvind Schools in Denmark formed the Teacher Group in the early years. The Teachers Group or TG is not a legal body, but is way of sharing life and does not have legal personality. Most of the teachers in the Danish schools in the 1970'ties and in the early 1980'ties pooled their savings and invested these savings in acquisition of the school buildings via the Private Foundation Faelleseje, which became the owners of the buildings. The Teachers Group bases its principles along the lines of having a common economy, common time and common distribution (of what actual work position to take up).

Famous quotes containing the words teachers and/or group:
“Culture is an instrument wielded by teachers to manufacture teachers, who, in their turn, will manufacture still more teachers.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“Unless a group of workers know their work is under surveillance, that they are being rated as fairly as human beings, with the fallibility that goes with human judgment, can rate them, and that at least an attempt is made to measure their worth to an organization in relative terms, they are likely to sink back on length of service as the sole reason for retention and promotion.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
