The perception of teaching in our country faces a significant challenge. Many view teaching as not being on par with other professions such as medicine, law, or accountancy. In the public imagination, it is not held in the same regard as careers that are equally important to society. This damaging and pernicious status quo must be addressed.

"Must do better" takes a comprehensive approach to examining the roots of our problem with teaching. It sheds light on the exciting realities of teaching in the 21st century and provides a roadmap for shaping a new and positive image of the modern teaching profession.

The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it accessible to a broad audience, including parents, employers, and politicians. It emphasizes the importance of these stakeholders in effecting the change that society needs.

We must recognize the potential for positive change and take action to improve the image of teaching for the better. By valuing and respecting the teaching profession, we can create a more supportive and inclusive learning environment for all. This will not only benefit students but also contribute to the growth and development of our society as a whole.
