WV teacher strke

I look at it as a supply and demand problem. Demand is high for teachers, supply is low. So you essentially hire anyone that can speak and has a degree. Increase the wage and lower the demand. Once you can start being more selective on who you hire the cream will rise to the top and the **** can be pushed out. I don't think any amount of increase is going to entice out of staters to come here, atleast none worth a damn. Best we can hope for us to sure up future teaching grads to stay and work from their. Gotta stop the bleeding in education first.
The legislature is harming if anyone. Just agree to 1% more and there’ll be school this week.
That was a pretty weak tweak on the word conservative. Anyway....,
Are the current teachers in WV performing in a similar manner and providing the same or better results than teachers in states with better salaries?
A link would be great. ....and I’ll even warn you that you’re walking into a trap.
Teachers are willing to keep harming parents and kids for 1%. Parents are spending millions on child care and kids are falling behind for 1%. The legislature didn't strike. You have to take responsibility for disrupting hundreds of thousands of people.
It’s just 1% less.....teachers should just agree it doesn’t really matter.
...then there’ll be school this week.
They always pass in Ohio County. Teachers in Ohio Co also receive a bonus of around $1300 if he/she miss less than 5 days.
What can they do? organize and vote out the government they don’t want. No, instead the **** the rest of us. Our teacher has asked for support via Dojo (group email app)...I told her to go **** herself and get back in the classroom.
I agree that would be a viable and logical option. However, that’s not how merit-based pay for teachers would work unfortunately. It also doesn’t factor in other variables that affect a student’s academic proficiency.
Let’s compare them to other teachers and look at salary per pupil... where WV ranks 23 nationally
I sincerely apologize that it seems like that, because it was not my intent. I just know I wouldn’t presume to know what individuals in other industries deserve and I certainly wouldn’t tell them that they couldn’t fight for what they feel they is right.
I know this first hand, the private school I sent my daughter too, was more about hounding for donations and getting grant money than actually teaching the kids. Horrible experience.

This is not true. They dont, why? unions.....got to take care of those ****** teachers...
My experience................, if I wanted to be inflammatory I would mention the school. I won't.
I've really got no opinion on this topic. However I just wanted to jump in as this thread is reaching "Rich to Michigan" levels of epicness.
My reply had to do with broad brushes and responses... ...don’t get trapped by isolated thought.
I thought you could type a reply that could be reasonably rational. There’s no way you even understand what you just wrote.
Now you are just posting for attention. You win, you got a little from me. Going to go filet some fish and make dinner for the family.......
Hey Keenan, this thread has as many hits as the Texas game thread , shouldn't I get a free t-shirt or hat?
This. Of course, sports betting will depend on the upcoming U.S. Supreme Court case.
If any one here watched the proceedings of the Finance Committee and of the Senate Session yesterday, you would see who is causing the problem. Mitch Carmichael and a few of his cronies (Ferns, Blair, etc.) are on a huge power trip right now. Teachers in general have been treated like crap for quite a while. The government has instituted ridiculous demands on educators, taking away input and control from local school districts. Perhaps if the lawmakers, who make @$28,000 for sixty days of work, cared more about the workers in this state rather than pumping up their egos and pocketbook, this would get settled. This is exactly why I can't stand political parties in general. The average legislator blindly follow what their party leaders tell them to do and completely ignore what their constituents want. Not to mention the kickbacks they receive from the lobbyists, who also tell them how to vote. Term limits and no more "donations" for them would be a good start. There are many ways to raise money for pay raises for all state workers - slightly increase taxes on oil and gas, reinstate some measure of the food tax, and allow legalized and taxed pot. If any of these legislators would dare venture into a classroom today and actually teach, I imagine very few of them would last longer than a week. Yet, they expect the teachers to "trust them" despite the fact that they have been completely untrustworthy. I hope the teachers stay 55 strong and stand up to these fools. Our state has blindly allowed out of state interests to basically steal our resources - timber, coal, oil and gas, and now our young and brightest. This has got to stop, and some inconveniences will have to occur for anything to change.
