Why Our Why Isn’t Enough: Insight into the Mass Exodus of Teachers: What is Really Happening in Classrooms Across America and What We Need to Do to Fix It

Education is the difference between poverty and plenty. Education is the difference between thriving and surviving. Education is the difference between opportunities and no options. The United States used to have the best public schools in the world. So what in the world is happening in our public school system today? Why are teachers leaving in droves? Why are we graduating students who can’t read? Why are we allowing criminal behaviors to occur in school with no consequences or discipline? Why are we allowing parents to cuss at or attack our teachers? Why are teachers some of the lowest-paid professionals in the country? Why are student achievement and learning outcomes across the nation rapidly declining? In Why Our Why Isn’t Enough Anymore, Dr. Tinius presents a candid discussion and explanation of the reality of the public school system today. Read through personal experiences and testimonies, unbelievable stories of violence, and statements from hopeless, frustrated, and exhausted teachers and administrators. But there is also hope! In this thoroughly researched book, Dr. Tinius also presents viable, realistic solutions to the problems and issues, based on empirical evidence in addition to the structure and organization of some of the most successful school systems in the world. The time to take REAL action is NOW: because EVERY DAY that we continue in the current school system is another day that students decline in achievement and learning outcomes as we continue to hit historically low scores in reading, math, and science. EVERY DAY is another day we are putting our students in danger of violence happening in classrooms, hallways, and across school campuses. EVERY DAY is another day we lose valuable teachers as they become fed up, burnt out, and leave the teaching profession. Because if nothing changes,Why teachers teach, Why teachers love education, and Why teachers come to school every day won’t be enough anymore.
