Commentary on Raising the Status of Teachers Triggers Debate

"Raising the status of teachers in America requires not only improvements on the teacher supply side, but also recognition of the parents' preferences on the demand side."

Thus began a recent commentary in the New York Times by Lance T. Izumi, senior director of education studies at the Pacific Research Institute. This reflection triggered a bit of a discussion, which included a number of thoughtful comments on different sides of the issue.
