If the resorts are getting tax money and the schools aren't the whole way of funding needs changing. That's a very different situation from mine. The big question is what does it take to get a school district to actually change? In my case it was competition. I recently read of a school in CT where the teachers and admins would talk about trying this and that to improve the curriculum but nothing ever happened until the NCLB law gave them the incentive. They could have implemented changes before, but the inertia was too great. As for who makes more, teachers in the city or teachers in the suburbs, I don't think there is one size fits all. I believe salary differentials should be used to encourage teachers to tackle tough situations, but pointing to other school districts and saying, "They make more than we do!" is not a good way to set salaries.
