Description: "No group of professionals bears as many demands, yet is so often undervalued, as educators. Dr. Norris calls attention to the sociological and physical factors that often influence their work. Perspectives on the Mistreatment of American Educators discusses the general perception of the teaching profession, and more specific issues such as reform, research, and political agendas. In a scholarly format, he reports on the double standards, demands, and high expectations that teachers are forced to overcome in order to be successful. This book is a must-read for anyone concerned about the status of teachers and teaching today."--Jacket.
