I guess pay for teachers is worse than I thought

http://www.winknews.com/Local-Florida/2011-11-14/Charlotte-teacher-resigns-after-grade-selling-controversy

 

Summary:  A high school math teacher is resigning after accepting money from students in exchange for good quiz grades.  Students staple the money to the quiz.

 

I have never been one who thinks parents should reward kids with money for good grades.  It isn't my style, but I am not super judgy towards parents who do this.  I can't get behind bribing your math teacher for grades for some reason.

Re: I guess pay for teachers is worse than I thought

  • We had a teacher in the district H used to teach in who was prostituting herself on Craigslist and leaving school during the day to meet "clients." H and all his teacher friends joked that it was because teacher pay was so little.

  • I'm not condoning buying of grades, I'm just saying, that at least they realized that getting good grades is important to their future.  Teenagers in general can be short-sighted about things.  I'm just impressed they were looking ahead.

     

    perhaps I should have addedWink

    I didn't think I said anything inflammatory, but I've been misunderstood before, so I just wanted to be sure.
