I was pleased to hear from Mike Wood of the Missouri State Teachers Association that someone is trying to improve teacher pay, rather than stagnating past 44th in the nation. For the life of me, I cannot understand our board decisions sometimes - while we fight to keep our salary schedules competitive, our district seems more concerned about suing the state from incidental or reserve funds. If our district has $81,000 laying around to pay Jefferson City lawyers, that's equal to almost three teachers annual salaries here in district! It's embarrassing when our community loses our trust to provide quality education such that I have to endure a scolding by Hank Waters.

I would think if the teachers had merit pay they would have more of an incentive to improve themselves as teachers. I am not intending to say all teachers are bad my any means. Just maybe it could help give them a little push.
And, really? I cannot believe they have already spent that much in legal fees! That's ridulous. That is money that should have gone towards the children. I was never aware til recently that is how my money has been spent.
