In the article Teaching Our Children can be a Profession, John Klein addresses three different points about professionalize teaching.

Pick from the Best: He talks about how we need to change the academic training for teachers. He says we need to make it better. Then John says that we need to find a new way for finding teachers. That we need to only hire the top third of the graduates from the schools. Finally he says we need to change the ways the teachers are rewarded because all teachers are different in their own performance.

Seniority distraction: John says that some teachers don't need to get paid the same as others. There is always some teachers that are ineffective teachers. When a teacher is laid off it is sometimes that one effective teacher and it should of been the ineffective teacher.

Racial Change: Throughout this one he said that teachers need to establish standards and policies so that way we can pick out the incomplete teachers.
