Educate yourself about what teachers go through with this book
22. August 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book combines statistic and qualitative data to give readers a frank and unsparing portrait of American education. For all of the talk about 'standards' and 'accountability' America expects its teachers to do so much with very little.
Teachers are horribly paid for all of the work which they are expected to do--and their responsibilities keep on growing. This is madness.
In my own home state of Texas, school teacher salaries are determined by the local property tax paid in individual districts. The 'local control' which is promised under this arrangement sounds great until we realize that teachers are also expected to be a counselor...etc but do not get any extra compensation for these assignments. Well-heeled school districts and schools are the exception and not the rule inside public education.
That America presently has the amount of public school teachers which it does is more testament to their idealism of wanting to make the world a little better place rather than the 'benefits'. It is a travesty that our country has teachers starving themselves (and their families) while ensuring that a community's children are being taken care of.
After seeing what neighbors, friends, and the people inside this book go through, I am convinced that public school teachers are among the closest things which America has to saints. I am also concerned that the public policy discrepancies which are painstakingly illustrated by the authors will continue festering unless concrete action is undertaken.

I've developed a deep appreciation for Dave Eggers and his work ever since I first stumbled upon A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. Since that time, his credibility has grown on a national level, and this current book should only bolster his reputation as an advocate of teacher and the teaching profession.
Most critics have pointed out that this book's biggest asset is its use of actual narratives from today's (and yesterday's) teachers. Though the argument of the book is clearly one sided, the whole thing is much more palatable when you read of the struggles and roller coaster rides of teaching through educators' mouths.
Although I felt it my duty to read this book as a teacher, I would strongly encourage any person who is involved with politics or public office to read this book too, and furthermore, to get really angry over what you read. This book may be biased in that it doesn't even so much as mention the slew of bad teachers in our workforce, but it will sure as hell make you pull for the ones that do their job with an astounding level of conviction and purpose. Maybe more than anything, it will heat up the debate on the teaching profession and provide a catalyst for change sooner rather than later.

Any of us in teaching understand how difficult a job it is, how little recognition for our efforts we receive and how little respect from our peers we garner, yet it is difficult to argue with comments like "you're done at 3:00" "you have the entire summer off" "I'd just treat those kids like my own."
Finally a book that explains that none of us are done at 3:00, we need the summer off to recoup and reenergize and those kids are not our own. Teachers Have It Easy: The Big Sacrifices and Small Salaries of America's Teachers allows teachers a forum to describe their day, asks experts in a variety of fields to explain exactly what teachers do and how, and examines ways schools are changing to validate that teaching is a profession worth paying quality people to go into.
Especially illuminating is the chart in Chapter Seven: "A Day in the Life" in which a teacher's day is compared to the day of a salesperson making twice the salary. No where have I found such compelling evidence that teaching is much more difficult than asking students to open books and answer questions.
This is a must read for everyone in the profession, anyone contemplating going into the profession and everyone who has any say to how teachers are paid, from voters to legislatures to district policy makers. Buy a copy, read it, pass it on.
