As the debate over America's schools rages on, one thing everyone agrees on is the need for great teachers. While research proves that teachers are the most important school factor in a child's success, American Teacher reveals the frustrations facing today's educators: the difficulty of retaining talented new teachers and why many of the best teachers are forced to leave the profession altogether. America’s teachers are woefully underpaid that almost two-thirds must divide their time between a second job in order to make a living. But this wake-up call to our system’s failings also looks at possibilities for reform. Can we revalue teaching in the United States and turn it into a prestigious, financially attractive and competitive profession? With almost half of American teachers leaving the filed in the next ten years, now is the time to find out.
