19.Schools are finding many ways to deal with teacher shortages as the school year is coming.But what really needs to be done to fix this annual problem,says The New York Times'Frank Bruni,is to give the teaching profession a reboot.Teaching has become one of the least popular profes-sions.When the economy improves,people turn their attention elsewhere,to professions that promise more money,more independence,or more respect.With starting salaries for teachers hardly reaching¥30,000per year,any student graduation from college with student debts is going to turn to professions that can promise more money.The av-erage teacher is struggling to provide for families and keep up with financial plans.
As for independence,the political battles over education,along with the lasting discussion on what's the best education,have left many teachers feeling like punching bags(攻击目标).Policy-makers don't know what's actually occurring inside the classroom,and make legislation(法规)without considering teachers'opinions.Also,licensing requirement differences across states make it difficult for teachers to find jobs in other states.
Bruni says the first step in fixing the mess has to start with adding the respect that hard-work-ing educators need and deserve."To do this is to make becoming a teacher more attractive."Bruni said,and mentioned Finland,where teachers are highly respected because entering the profession needs strict training.
The development and prosperity(繁荣)of our nation depend on teaching no less than on Wall Street's plans or Silicon Valley's innovations(革新).So let's make the classroom.destination as exciting and meaningful as any other.
