[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 344410, member: 4040"] Being a sub, I get to see the good, bad, and ugly of the elementary schools in our district...which is an award-winning, high-achieving, fairly wealthy district. However...we still have low-income, under-performing schools. Tying teachers' salaries etc. to student performance is really using an unfair barometer. It isn't like making your sales goal or balancing your budget. You're dealing with 20 (in primary) very different entities, who have 20 very different sets of issues, that affect their daily performance, and most of those issues have absolutely nothing to do with you or how well you do your job. Add in the fact that you are not only teaching the three R's, you're teaching basic manners and general hygiene, you're supplying snacks for those who haven't eaten, purchasing books for your classroom library, providing crayons, pencils, glue sticks, etc. because the amount you get for supplies from the district isn't enough to have a set for each student... It's not just W School or C School, or T School, or F School...I see the effects at every school I work in. [/QUOTE]
