There are a lot of issues with deciding which teacher is "better." Do you go by hours worked? That doesn't work because some teachers are more efficient and spend less time socializing. Looking at student performance is difficult because a teacher in an inner city school could never get the results of a teacher in an affluent neighbourhood. Also, maybe the kid is having problems at home or has other issues beyond the teachers control. If teachers were paid more doing extra curriculars then we would have teachers who have never wanted to do them volunteering just for the money, which isnt right. If we allowed the administrator to decide, it would be unfair because they often pick favourites or have certain expecations which may or may not equal more effective teaching. I think that there are too many variables with individual teachers and individual students for this to be realistic.

I understand the feeling of the mother's daughter. It is extremely difficult to give individual attention to everyone in your class, especially those who are well behaved and already proficient.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182396514622502353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19293986.post-85383317955058689962007-02-27T11:51:00.000-08:002007-02-27T11:51:00.000-08:00Here's what my 11 yr old daughter shared with me l...Here's what my 11 yr old daughter shared with me last night on this very subject: "It's really hard to work hard and want to learn and want your teacher to show as much interest in you as you do in them. And instead, you're invisible to your teacher because you're not causing trouble or demanding attention."<BR/><BR/>Not looking to be critical--just thought you might appreciate hearing a child's viewpoint on the same subject.<BR/><BR/>I teach adults so I can relate to much of what you have to say.<BR/><BR/>Lots here that looks interesting to read. I think I'll go browse around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19293986.post-25609145199696478552007-02-25T08:51:00.000-08:002007-02-25T08:51:00.000-08:00this is brilliant writing!
