As a lifelong teacher, statewide programming evaluator, and assistant superintendent, as well as the grandmother of 21 (9 still in public ed) and now great grandmother to 5 and counting, the future of our education system and of our commitment to our children is of grave concern. Few people are better advocates for quality education than is Franklin Schargel. I found this latest book to be spot on in identifying the challenges of attracting and retaining committed teachers. It was well written and easy to follow. Great job dear colleague.
