In The Teachers, I tried to convey that message by following three teachers and presenting their year-in-the-life stories in a way that readers can feel like they are curled up with a fast-paced novel. It is astonishing that these underpaid, understaffed professionals, who are trained to educate and nurture future generations in their most formative years, are contending with such distressingly pervasive disrespect.Īs a substitute teacher for almost four years, I have seen firsthand the tremendous efforts, heart, and soul that teachers give to students, staff, and schools.
One of the most common concerns I heard from teachers when I interviewed hundreds of educators for my book, The Teachers: A Year Inside America’s Most Vulnerable, Important Profession, was the negative portrayals of their profession by politicians, certain groups of parents, and on social media.
