[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s only so much money to go around, and the elementary school and english teachers are scared that STEM and SPED positions will get most of the raises if they separate pay scales by area.

Maryland law prohibits teacher’s unions from organizing a strike. If you don’t like the job, then find a new job, just like any other professional would do.[/quote]

News flash people are quitting. Which is why there are jobs to fill.

Classic pit people against each other to sew division.

There’s no way to do this without causing resentment and driving more people to quit. By this plan, all elementary ed teachers, with the exception of special education teachers, would be paid less. AP and IB teachers, who need more training and certifications, would be paid less even though their jobs require more accountability because of the external orgs that oversee those types of classes. The classroom teacher with many students with IEPs would be paid less, even though she would have to do the work of implementing the IEPs in addition to her regular work. The list goes on. It doesn’t even take into account success of the teacher. Should a STEM teacher get paid more, regardless of effectiveness?

This would cause more people to resign than there already are, creating even larger shortages in ALL fields. Which would ultimately lead to… you guessed it… needing to pay these teachers more to get them back in the field. [/quote]
