[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here.  I had a 1430 SAT score and attended a top liberal arts school.  I currently have a masters degree but know teachers with PHDs who would agree with me.  More money is tops.  Second is better discipline of students.  Schools have no way to control students who disrupt classrooms anymore.  We want to teach, not do babysitting or do crowd control all day.[/quote]

This. Parents and administrators are important factors too, but mainly only a problem when they are failing to support and creating (or preventing us from resolving) issues in the classroom. But when today's high schoolers are exposed to a bad school environment or parental bad behavior or so on I could see that having a detrimental effect on their desire to pursue the profession.

I don't have a good answer for how to address the overemphasis on standardized testing against the understandable the need to ensure student progress and accountability, but this probably isn't the sort of thing that keeps top students from entering public school teaching.[/quote]
