Everyone knows that some very good people leave teaching because it pays so poorly. Some experts estimate that there is one well-qualified teacher not teaching for every one now in the classroom. Under my Leave No Teacher Behind Act, some of these people would surely return and others stay. That would increase the pool of teachers, giving school districts greater choice in whom they hire and retain. —Richard Cohen —Leave No Teacher Behind (Washingto Post — Will Expire)
