[quote=Anonymous]In Indiana, I know a big concern among teachers is constant attacks from the State House on the public education system. Every year, the State passes legislation that expands school privatization in the state. There is always a flood of legislation introduced trying to micromanage teachers. Even if much of it doesn't pass, it's exhausting and demoralizing. The testing is relentless and largely pointless. And the pay isn't very good. Raise the pay. Treat and train the teachers like professionals. Then leave them to their jobs. Emulate the successful public school systems in the rest of the world. Vouchers, charters, and high stakes testing is not a recipe for success. [/quote]
