[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one wants to teach the poor kids bc admin will hold the sociological problem of poverty against a teachers career .  Many teachers that teach poor students are poor themselves so when an admin destroys a teachers career bc the teacher won't play fraud, do they think alit if people are lining up to do this job???  So they blame the teachers, they blame society and then they get promoted for negatively influencing so many teachers, systems, and students [/quote]

I teach in Baltimore City and I don’t feel this is the case at all. My only beef is with attendance. As a teacher, I have very little control over it. Part of my EOY evaluation is my SLO which is student test scores. I have quite a few students who miss more than 18 days of school each year. They are chronically absent. It isn’t until they reach 50+ days (from November-March) absent that their test scores become exempt from my SLO. I can’t teach them if they don’t come to school. My raise shouldn’t depend on attendance. [/quote]
