[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not that teachers are underpaid other than in a few states. It’s that they are overworked. Paying teachers more would encourage them to stay, but so would balancing out the teacher load, reducing the number of hours they are with kids in a classroom, providing more support for special needs, and providing them with the tools they need to teach. Keeping an individual teacher pay the same, but adding additional support staff and reducing the number of hours of actual instruction a teacher does from say 6 to 4 or 4.5 would have the added benefit of raising test scores in the way that just paying them more does not. In an 8 hour day, four hours of instruction, 3 hours for planning, grading, prep (including prep for SN kids), 30 min meeting, and 30 minute lunch would be reasonable and keep teachers teaching.[/quote] This! All of this![/quote]
