The E-Accountability Foundation announces the

'A for Accountability' Award

to those who are willing to whistleblow unjust, misleading, or false actions and claims of the politico-educational complex in order to bring about educational reform in favor of children of all races, intellectual ability and economic status. They ask questions that need to be asked, such as "where is the money?" and "Why does it have to be this way?" and they never give up. These people have withstood adversity and have held those who seem not to believe in honesty, integrity and compassion accountable for their actions. The winners of our "A" work to expose wrong-doing not for themselves, but for others - total strangers - for the "Greater Good"of the community and, by their actions, exemplify courage and self-less passion. They are parent advocates. We salute you.

Winners of the "A":

Teachers' Job Satisfaction at Highest Level in 20 Years: The Harris Poll #19, March 12, 2004

Harris Interactive has measured the satisfaction of public teachers nine times over the last twenty years. In our most recent survey the proportion of public school teachers who reported that they were "very satisfied" with "teaching as a career" rose to 57%, the highest level we have ever recorded.

This high level of satisfaction compares with low points of 40% in 1984 and 1987, and the lowest point of 33% in 1986. In our two most recent surveys, we had found 54% (in 1995) and 52% (in 2001) who were very satisfied with their choice of career.

These are the results of the latest of the annual MetLife Surveys of the American Teacher, which Harris Interactive® has conducted since 1984. This survey was conducted among 1,017 public school teachers between May 14 and September 22, 2003.
