With state budgets buckling, American teachers are facing the erosion of tenure protection, employee benefits, and other job protections that they fought for and won years ago.
 
The status teachers enjoy in many other countries often eludes them in the U.S., with public sentiment bouncing from embracing them as heroic warriors on the front lines of any number of social "wars" -- whether the culprit of the day is drugs, gang violence, or poverty -- to dismissing them with the insulting old saw, "those who can't do, teach."
 
 
A survey of global school systems released last week awarded top marks to Korea and Finland because of the social value they place on teachers. These countries, as well as Singapore, hire only high-performing college graduates and provide them with strong support, including training and mentoring, to strengthen their classroom performance.
 
 
An experienced elementary teacher in the American public school system makes $44,172, which is 40% below the average salary of their fellow college graduates in other fields, according to "What the U.S. Can Learn from the World's Most Successful Education Reform Efforts," released earlier this month by the McGraw-Hill Research Foundation.
