Tell TIME Magazine: Apologize to America's teachers

TIME Magazine should apologize to America's teachers for the misleading and hyperbolic attack on its November 3, 2014 cover.

Why is this important?

Time magazine is about to use its cover to blame teachers for the problems in America’s schools. On Monday, Nov. 3, this cover will be in every supermarket checkout line and newsstand across the country—and it’s already online.

Time’s cover misrepresents its own reporting. The Time article looks at the wealthy sponsors of these efforts. And while it looks critically at tenure, it also questions the testing industry’s connections to Silicon Valley and the motives of these players.

The cover is particularly disappointing because the articles inside the magazine present a much more balanced view of the issue. But for millions of Americans, all they will see is the cover and a misleading attack on teachers.
