Al, > Which makes their jobs more complex and stressful than that of a college professor... My view is this. Why should they have to babysit and accomodate the most disruptive and slowest learners in the class? Why should they have to take shit from parents, disruptive students, and meddlesome administrators, all of which serve to make the teaching profession anything but rewarding in itself? Increasing their pay because they have to tolerate that just means we as a society have to accept this nonsense that we call public education. Union leaders should be pushing for more professional standards and learning environments, but they're in bed with the administrators and politicians who only know how to pass regulations and throw money at problems. Well the money is now drying up. This is when we need to ask ourselves, "Are we getting our money's worth?" If not, then some things have to change. I asked SilentZ a while back, "What if we increased the pay of inner city school teachers in Los Angeles to $200K? What would improve?" If the answer is "not much," then the problem isn't teacher pay. Tenchusatsu
