[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really bad across the board.

They need to increase teacher pay drastically. Like at least +$20k a year across the board on all pay scales. [/quote]

But it's not just about pay. They also need to add more support staff--I would've killed for a secretary. Someone who could schedule phone meetings with parents, grade simple papers, put grades into gradebook, and make copies. That way I could focus on the important stuff of being a professional teacher--planning lessons that meet the needs of all my students. [/quote]

I’d love to have someone else in the room to help monitor the class while I’m working with small groups. Between math, reading and an intervention block we had 80 minutes a day last year that was scheduled for meeting with groups.[/quote]

They are reducing small group time and making it almost all whole group in many districts.  This is part of the science of reading programs many places are buying. Still, we need another person.  [/quote]
