Today I tackle a topic near and dear to my heart, which is the state of teaching.  Everybody in my home state (California) feels like it's their god-given right to throw teachers under the bus for the delay or issues tied to getting kids back into schools.  I understand the frustration as we have just hit the 1-year mark, but I know for a fact that teachers hate teaching virtually more than you or your kids do.  The bigger question is why do we always want to blame teachers for everything wrong with education?  I have two questions:

If Teachers pulled an Atlas Shrugged and walked away from teaching, what would be the back-up plan?  No one wants the job as I will illustrate in today's podcast.  The second question is why don't teachers just give the general public the bird, dig in and get what they are entitled to?  It's pretty simple, more than anything teachers care for our kids, hence the reason they put up with general public bullying and crappy pay.
