Dick Yarbrough: Ga. teachers frustrated, angry at politicians' meddling
Placeholder Image
My recent open letter to Georgia’s public school teachers produced as much response as I have received in a long time. Teachers from one end of the state to the other have weighed in, and the comments are still coming. To put it mildly, many classroom teachers are frustrated and downright angry with all the political and bureaucratic meddling, including an obsession with testing more than teaching, a lack of respect for an honorable profession and a fear that if something isn’t done soon to fix the problem, finding a new generation of teachers will be all but impossible.
