MetLife Survey of the American Teacher: Teachers, Parents, and the Economy

According to this survey, the twenty-eighth in a series sponsored annually by MetLife since 1984 to give voice to those closest to the classroom, teachers are less satisfied with their jobs than they have been in decades, but parent engagement with schools has increased. The survey examines the views of teachers, parents, and students about the teaching profession, parent and community engagement, and the effects of the current economy on families and schools.
