[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Auctioning teacher experiences is a bad practice.

Remember the Oyster teacher who molested a student? The movie night he hosted for students was one of the most popular items.

It also puts teachers in a bad position, pressuring them to spend personal time basically babysitting your kids. They won't tell you this, but it is an imposition.

We know it's an imposition, but it brings in tons of money. And also, the PTA raises this money so 100% of the budget goes to their *just* under 6-figure salaries. They earn it, for sure, but that's pretty nice compensation for a teacher given our society undervalues them so much.[/quote]

You think PTA funds have anything to do with teacher salaries? It's a pay scale across all of DCPS. This isn't private school! What snobby comment.[/quote]

What they are saying is that since the PTA raises so much money, the PTA pays for non-staff expenditures that DCPS would otherwise provide. They are not paying the teacher's salary but by agreeing to pay for items normally paid for in the budget the principal can usually hire additional staff. But you are still right, it's a snobby comment. It reminds me of the kids in college who would steal things "because our tuition paid for it."[/quote]
