Chip has created a realistic look at what teachers in North Carolina are facing. Teachers don't go into the profession to make money. Most are highly dedicated and well educated human beings who care and want to be that positive difference in children's lives. However, our state has found ways to slash pay, to take away promised bonuses, and to torture students and teachers alike by requiring massive amounts of testing, raised class sizes, and putting the blame of low student performance on teachers. Teachers are not a part of any decision making yet they are the ones on the "front lines." With twenty-some years of experience with both low and high achieving students, Chip shares his year in the classroom as he struggles to inspire his students amidst the changes the NC Legislature has imposed. This is a very realistic picture of what our teachers face in NC schools today. Thank goodness North Carolinians can still rely on excellent teachers, like Chip Putnam, who are loyal to helping their students succeed.
