Alliance’s report on teacher attrition cited in Bradenton Hearld Letter to the Editor

A study from the Alliance for Excellent Education said Florida loses more than $130 million a year because teachers either leave the profession or move to new schools. Imagine what education could do with an additional $130 million ,though to be honest I am surprised the number isn't higher considering all the damage our leaders in Tallahassee have done to the profession over the years. There was a time when the teaching profession was respected if not revered; instead, now it is often ridiculed and blamed for society's problems despite the fact teachers are given all of the responsibility and none of the authority while having to endure a lack of resources and policies that hamstring the profession.
