[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, sure, there are lots of other jobs out there that have demanding hours and that pay less than they should. But ACPS is losing teachers. Experienced teachers are leaving and there aren’t enough new ones to take their place. And new teachers have a notoriously high dropout rate anyway, meaning kids are left with increasingly inexperienced teachers, if they have a teacher at all. So raising pay is one way to encourage teachers to stay. If you don’t want to raise salaries, what other measures do you propose to increase retention?[/quote] In a time of teacher shortage - raising pay makes sense and the market demands that. But, that is why pay should be raised, not because teachers are woefully underpaid as compared to other public service careers. [/quote]
