Heidi points out another wrong direction taken in Nevada’s education debate. She correctly notes the main reason teachers leave teaching is because of the environment in the system. She states in her Liberty Watch Magazine column:

“Since Nevada chooses to reject this available pool of math and science experts, here’s an idea: Try hanging onto the good teachers we already have. I’ve discussed this issue several times on my radio show, and each time the phones are flooded with former teachers who loved teaching but left due to the environment in Nevada schools. Student behavior problems, lack of parental involvement and spineless administrators are their chief complaints. Surprisingly, low pay is never mentioned, since education majors don’t expect to get rich. ”
