I watched a clip posted to CNN on June 13, 2009. CNN's T.J. Holmes interviewed Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan on his thoughts about America's teachers. Interesting video to watch and listen to. Arne Duncan spoke of how children's education relies heavily on great role models such as teachers, mentors and parents to help children succeed in education. Arne Duncan also stated there would be about 1 million teachers that would be of retirement age in the next 5 to 6 years and it is crucial for the teachers coming in to the field to be great. The idea is the better the teachers can be, coming into the field, the better the education the students will be recieving in the upcoming years.

Follow the link to watch the video.
It will be interesting to see if and how education will be changing over the next decade with younger generations taking a huge portion of teaching jobs from the baby boomers that are retiring.
