No (Great) Teacher Left Behind
You'd think that being married to a public-school teacher, and being also the son and stepson of public-school teachers, and moreover being the father of a public-school student, I'd be somewhat obsessed with improving the lives of our public-school teachers -- and, most important, their students. And you'd be right -- way right. But I confess that until I read Teachers Have It Easy: The Big Sacrifices and Small Salaries of America’s Teachers, I didn't really have a clue as to how this daunting task might be accomplished.
