you deliver some very tough messages to the nea. i really admire what you have done. let me ask you about teachers. most would agree about the empirical evidence about the results you get from early childhood education, tremendous evidence about what a world class teacher does and means in a classroom. we've tried in virginia on some reforms. merit pay, trying to recruit teachers at based on the subject matter expertise. we have run into some roadblocks from the educational associations and unions. what is working? how do we best recruit these world-class teachers? how do we elevate the competence and the esteem in which we hold that profession? you made a little bit of money as a professional basketball player, yet we do not pay teachers at all. what are the things that are working that we can do to get the world class people involved in the profession? >> maine authorizing no child left behind. -- we started this conversation with reauthorizing no child left behind. maybe the biggest givft that we could give to this country used to recruit the next generation teache

the disparity is even greater when we only consider individual nea. income taxes. this is a better measure since the president proposes to increase income teasms on the so-called wealthy. 23 you look at the chart before you, you will see the bottom 40% of households have an average effective tax rate below zero. in contrast, the top 5% have an average effective tax rate of nearly 18% and account for 61% of income tax receipts. now, i've highlighted the top 5% of these accounts because these are the households generally earning more than $250,000. in other words, these are the wealthy households, according to the president. now, looking at these numbers, it's fair to ask the president once again to define what he means by fair share. how high is the president willing to raise taxes to meet this objective? in other words, if this 5% is paying 61% of all the income tax receipts, how much more do they have to pay to satisfy the president that they're paying their fair share? in other words, define fair share. i've always stated that taxpayers should pay what they owe,

nea, give it up and welcome rebecca mieliwocki, 2012 national teacher of the year.ple that i love. i imagined you all make it to call me down the that is a lot of flesh. it scared me, it did not call me down. -- i imagine you all naked to calm me down. >> instead, i will say that reminds me of my house on a friday afternoon. i would come home from a long day of driving my teachers crazy as school and come in and see my geometry teacher, my science teacher, and my english teacher sitting at our kitchen counter drinking wine. that is not something that every 17-year-old girl wants to see a on a friday afternoon. it was more of what a shame than anything. i was not exactly a model student. now, here i stand, a model teacher. i am telling you, the irony is not lost on me.
