A Major Threat

The release of the most recent national poll of the public’s attitudes toward the public schools reveals a major threat facing public education.  This month, PDK International, a leading thought-leader for the educational profession, reported that broad discontent is leading half of our nation’s teachers to consider quitting their jobs.  This is a growing concern of mine, and it is one of the reasons why I wrote America’s Schools at a Turning Point:  And how we THE PEOPLE CAN help shape their future and Cleaning Up the Mess from Sacred Cows:  A Strategy to Take Back Our Public Schools.  The PDK report is illuminating and worth reading.
