"if you just paid me more, I would work harder." FL, I think your wife's efforts are highly commendable. They certainly reflect very high standards and work ethic. The work hours she keeps are very long and arduous. My wife is also a teacher. Much of her spare time now is spent voluntarily tutoring recently arrived refugee kids. I asked her if she would work harder for more money...She said no. I believe my Karen is an exceptional and devoted teacher. I can tell you think similarly about your bride. The two of them are undoubtedly among the best. The money issue as discussed here in the past is not about the best teachers. Even LB has written that the best teachers deserve more pay. I believe the issues for him (though not articulated well in that post) are across the board pay raises and permanent tenure with no performance considerations. Those are issues that are addressed in every other job...why should teachers be exempt from performance considerations? What is the opposition to first identifying, then paying the very best teachers more? uw
