Backseat Teachers

A friend sent me a very thought-provoking  blog post recently about teachers.  In "The Teachers", the Sarah Blaine chronicles her own experience as a teacher.  It was short.  However, what she says about her decision to become a teacher and then leave the profession is compelling.  But what she further says about what those who are not educators think they know about teaching should be required reading for the very people who won't read it.  You know them, they're the ones who "know" what teachers do.
