Investigative journalist and author Alexandra Robbins joins me this week to discuss her new book, 'The Teachers: A Year Inside America's Most Vulnerable, Important Profession.' This conversation hits close to home for me because my mother was a teacher and my wife is a teacher. I've been surrounded by them my whole life, and some of the people who shaped my career were teachers. I hate to see what politicians and impressionable parents are doing to our teachers right now.
Alexandra's book is a fascinating look at a year in the life of three teachers from different grade levels and areas of the country. We get to see how their lives differ and how they are the same. I hope the right people read this and see it's time we give more love and support to our teachers.
