Offering nine reasons why one teacher walked out on her career,
this book has been written in an effort to explain what's wrong
with the American education system: it is a struggling system
beleaguered by unclear purposes, unbearable conditions,
unprofessional evaluations, unavailable values, undervalued
standards, unqualified employees, underdeveloped expectations,
unraveled communities and unchanging minds.
This writing will challenge mentalities, perspectives, ethics
and attitudes regarding the American public education system. In
short, it will show day-to-day dealings between colleagues, and it
will reveal the inconsistent attitudes held by administrators. It
will point fingers at some notions which need to be altered, and it
will offer simple ideas that could make a difference toward
positive change. This book isn't designed to repair the public
education system. It, instead, is designed to give a real look at
what real teachers deal with on a regular basis. It is a surprising
study of what happens to the educator who succeeds. And it is an
alarming look at how colleagues deal with someone else's success
and popularity. This book awakens the reader to the realities and
struggles of those few who truly are dedicated to the teaching
profession. And then it asks real questions for you to ask yourself
as a reader, as a taxpayer, as a parent and as a member of our
educated society.
