	<TITLE>Letter to the President--Teaching Quality</TITLE>
	<ABSTRACT>&lt;p&gt;In a letter to the President at the beginning of his second term, the Southeast Center for Teaching Quality offers ideas about how the Bush administration can &amp;quot;help provide the kind of teaching we all want for our nation's students.&amp;quot; The letter includes comments from several members of the Teacher Leaders Network, including this one: &amp;quot;&amp;quot;In the end, it is going to take a committed effort to restructure the teaching profession, making it a more attractive career choice. Without this restructuring, we will never be able to retain the kinds of talented professionals needed to meet the challenges facing low-performing schools.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Southeastern Center for Teaching Quality.
