If we could reach the point where many of our nation's future leaders know what teachers know after teaching successfully in our highest-need schools, we would have a very different situation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am confident that the vast majority of teachers will work with us towards achieving that goal.
Few things are more important to our country's future than recruiting and keeping great teachers in our schools.
We're not trying to be the only route into teaching. We do put enormous energy into understanding what differentiates the most successful teachers.
To get enough of the teachers we need, teaching has to be a great job where talented people are supported and rewarded.
Our experience at Teach For America has been that the more people understand educational inequity, the more they want to do something about it.
Now, we believe that the majority of teachers in America know our system must be reformed, to put students first so that America can compete, that teachers don't teach to become rich or famous. They teach because they love children.
Teachers are our greatest public servants; they spend their lives educating our young people and shaping our Nation for tomorrow.
Teach For America provides one of the most critical pipelines for bringing new talent into public education.
If we can teach a teacher we can reach more people.
Instead of unfairly demonizing teachers, we should be working with them to find solutions to the problems in our schools and make sure every child gets an outstanding public education.
