      abstract = {Many teachers today must work two or more jobs to survive;  they can't afford to buy homes or raise families. Why are  they paid so poorly? How is this related to student  achievement? And how can we find ways to treat them like  the professionals they are? This book examines how bad  policy intersects with teachers' lives. Interweaving  teachers' voices with facts and figures, the book is a  clear-eyed view of the harsh realities of public school  teaching, without any chicken-soup success stories. With a  look at the problems of recruitment and retention, the  myths of short workdays and endless summer vacations, the  realities of the work week, and shocking examples of how  society views America's teachers, it explores why salary  reform may be the best way to improve public education and  examines how innovative compensation plans can transform  schools.--From publisher description.},
