This book is an attempt to look at the professional lives and work
of teachers in the 21st century. If teachers represent the
front-line of hope for children in America, it is imperative that
their efforts to achieve the status of a "real" profession must be
understood and supported by those who have a vested interest in the
success of the public schools. In this book, it will be argued that
the low status of teachers and the general dissatisfaction of
teachers with the profession have very little to do with salaries
or education. Instead, the problems that afflict the teaching
profession have more to do with the dismal working conditions that
characterize the daily lives of teachers. Past school reform
efforts have suffered from a lack of insight into the lives and
work of teachers, and as such, have been doomed to failure from the
beginning. This book is an attempt to examine and better understand
teaching in the 21st century and use that as a basis for
reconceptualizing and defining teacher s work.
