Principal Rob Stein works with science teachers before classes start next week. Denver Public Schools has had a history of sending teachers that cannot find a home in any school to its poorest and most struggling schools. This is a national phenomenon and one that the federal government is trying to stop, armed with research that shows the most struggling students need the best teachers - not teachers who no one else wants. Rob Stein, principal of Manual High School, was the headmaster at one of the most expensive and highest achieving private schools in Denver. He agreed to take on Manual, his alma mater, with an agreement that he would never have to take directly placed teachers. And he hasn't. In fact, Stein has hired all but four of his 40 teachers from outside of Denver. "IF you were directing a movie, would you want your actors forced on you? You need to be able to choose who you want to teach your students," he said. Helen H. Richardson/The Denver Post (Photo By Helen H. Richardson/The Denver Post via Getty Images)
