For decades, teachers, though underpaid, were among the most respected, esteemed professionals in the United States. But things have changed. As schools fail to meet the needs of a growing, diverse population, teachers have taken the hit. Popular movies have sensationalized the power and potential of those in the teaching profession, their hyperbole bordering on the absurd. Bruce Jay Gevirtzman hands you the truth about conditions in America’s schools. His defense of teachers may be shocking, but could awaken us to solutions that really work.
Bruce Jay Gevirtzman is a part-time instructor in communications at California State University, Fullerton. He taught English for 37 years, coached both Little League and high school baseball, and wrote and directed more than 25 plays. He was “District Teacher of the Year” and won the “Crystal Apple Award from NBC.” He lives in Brea, California with his wife and two teenage children.
