The problem with education is America’s contempt for teachers

Yesterday I had an op-ed in the Dallas Morning News, Troy Earl Camplin: The problem with education is America’s contempt for teachers. The response has been phenomenal. Almost thirty emails from around the country. Sixty comments online. Can't want to see if there are any letters to the editor.

The vast majority of responses have been positive. Many people thanking me for saying what they were thinking, what was a sort of vague notion, or were afraid to say. Of course, this attitude arose for a variety of reasons, and the problems with education are more varied than this one thing, but I think this is a major component, and it's something nobody else has brought up.
