  • “I admit I’m being heretical,” said Richard M. Ingersoll, a professor of education and sociology at the university. “But it’s not that we’re producing too few math and science teachers. It’s that we’re losing too many.”
  • Mr. Ingersoll and his research partner, David Perda, calculate that colleges and universities are producing 2½ times more math and science teachers than schools require to replace those who are retiring.
  • Yikes. The solutions sound familiar. Improving working conditions, mentoring and supporting new teachers, offering better pay, managing student discipline.
