"It looks like teachers are giving their own career higher grades. According to the Metlife Survey of the American Teacher, teachers are viewing their jobs more favorably than they were 25 years ago. A national sample of a thousand public school teachers were surveyed and the results:

- 66 percent of teachers in 2008 are happy with their salary opportunities, up from 37 percent in 1984
- 75 percent would advise a young person to go into the teaching profession, compared with 45 percent in 1984
- 94 percent said they were satisfied or somewhat satisfied with their position"

"Homeless children in New York State score well below other children in reading and math, according to a report by the National Center on Family Homelessness."
They wasted time and money doing a report on something common sense should have told them to start with. Maybe if they had put that much effort in to finding these people a home their kids could consentrate on school work instead of where they might have to sleep at night.
