[quote=Anonymous][quote]Teachers do you get behind other professions that aren't making their fair share? How about all of the other non-teacher government employees? We never even hear about their pay freezes. Teacher pay needs to be looked at, but there are greater needs now within FCPS. They system needs more schools, many buildings are deteriorating, class sizes are growing, and there are children with many many needs, and teachers with not enough hours in the day to handle all of them. [b]Can't you see teacher salaries as one item of a big picture of funding and not THE ONLY reason for providing more funding for schools?[/b][/quote]

Of course this is part of a bigger picture.  But this thread is about salaries and salary inequity when comparing to nearby school districts.  We could start another thread about the other needs of FCPS, but this is about attracting and retaining teachers.  Should teachers be the ones to sacrifice for all those other needs?  Or should the taxpayers sacrifice as well?  The children are the responsibility of all of the taxpayers and of the greater society.  Teachers are doing their part.  Are the taxpayers doing theirs?[/quote]
