What so many people don't realize is that teaching, can be a really hard job, particular in the intercity schools. The districts put a lot pressure on teachers in schools scoring below grade levels on standardize tests. Usually these are intercity schools, where many of the students have little interest in learning and parents are not very supportive. These schools offer a tremendous challenge for our teachers. Unfortunately many of these teachers burn out after just a few years and seek the better schools in the suburbs.
