Book Description
This survey was designed to assess teachers' perspectives on student grade level preparedness. Specifically, it examines the kinds of problems that make it difficult to be a good student and how well prepared teachers feel they are to deal with these problems. As has been true since The MetLife Survey of the American Teacher began in 1984, more than 90 percent of all teachers in public schools continue to rate the overall quality of education in their own school as positive, with more than 40 percent rating it excellent. A sample of 1,000 teachers, designed to be representative of all teachers in the public schools in kindergarten through grade 12 throughout the United States, was surveyed by telephone between March 2 and March 12, 1992. Reported findings include: (1) Students are not fully prepared to learn at their grade level; (2) Lack of parental support is the most serious hindrance to students' ability to learn, followed in decreasing order by poverty, parental drug or alcohol problems, physical or psychological abuse, poor nutrition, student alcohol problems, school violence, problems with the English language, student drug problems and poor health; and (3) Less than one-third of teachers feel they have the necessary expertise to deal with the ten most-listed challenges to student learning.

Book Description
This report is the twenty-fifth in a series of surveys sponsored annually by MetLife since 1984 as a public service. This 25th anniversary edition includes the views of teachers, principals and students and looks back to the earliest MetLife Surveys to examine how perspectives on teachers, teaching and public education have changed. It documents current attitudes, examines trends and considers future implications, addressing teacher satisfaction with careers; academic standards and curriculum; student success; professional relationships and communication; school conditions; parent and community relations; and challenges beyond the classroom. This research combined both quantitative and qualitative methods, and an online strategy session with public school principals and teacher leaders. Many of the findings are substantially more positive than they have been in the past, including improvement in teacher assessment of the state of the profession, and trends in student achievement. However, educators in urban schools were found to be significantly less positive than colleagues in suburban and rural schools. The following are appended: (1) Methodology; and (2) Questionnaires. (Contains 8 footnotes and 132 figures.) [For the 2007 (twenty-fourth) edition of this survey, see ED500012.].
