[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's sad to me that we all (that I saw, at least) agree teaching in a high FARMS school is more work than in an affluent school, and general consensus is that a solution to being overworked is just to move to a wealthier school.

Big picture though--those low SES students need strong teachers/mentors/clubs/opportunities as much (if not more so) than the wealthier kids.  I've taught at both, and I know 1000% the after school basketball club was more valuable at the low SES school than the high SES school.

So how do we get and keep good teachers at those schools?  Is there merit to a pay differential to encourage teachers to go there? "Hazard pay", if you will?  Do we give those teachers one less hour a day of teaching and replace it with planning, to help build stronger lessons/prevent burnout?  Or do we write off those kids on some level as lost causes, and just be okay with teachers moving across the county when positions open?[/quote]

Buy them a set of functioning parents?[/quote]
