Howard teachers seeking raise as contract talks resume Baltimore Sun
22.02.09
"We know that economic times are tough, but we think that this is an opportunity for us to mitigate the salary disparities," said Ann DeLacy, president of the Howard County Education Association. "We believe this is the way to maintain the stellar school system we have by attracting the best and the brightest."
DeLacy declined to say how large an increase the union would seek. This month, the HCEA had postponed further negotiations, saying that it needed to assess the effect that President Barack Obama 's economic stimulus package would have on Maryland education funding. The union had met twice with school officials this academic year.
Sue Mascaro, the school system's director of staff relations and operations, confirmed that negotiations had resumed. "It's a slow process this year," she said. "A lot of people are taking a wait-and-see approach to see if the economic stimulus package will have an effect on funding."

How is teacher tenure harmful to the school system and what are bad effects teacher tenure has on schools?
Apr 19, 2008 by jazzy | Posted in Teaching
Teacher tenure, due process employment, basically offers teachers a guarantee that they cannot be fired for no good reason. This basically means that teachers in general, who have disagreements with their administrators, cannot summarily be laid off without any cause.
How do you get rid of bad teachers? What happens if your enrollment declines or you want to add teachers with expertise in a different area?

What if a teacher is giving unequal attention to other students in class?
Nov 15, 2007 by traveling painter | Posted in Teaching
There is this teacher at my school, he's the "cool teacher" of the school. All the popular kids are always hanging out with him, especially popular girls...
I really enjoy him as a teacher, but it seems like I get hardly any attention from him (as a teacher).
Is this fair at all?
I'm sure I'm not the only student that feels this way.
People out there, what are your feelings/views on this situation?
It is not fair but the truth is that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. If the 'popular girls' are the ones that are asking a lot of questions in class and being loud, they are going to get more of his attention during class. I would not suggest you talk out and scream for attention during class but maybe you can ask him if he will tutor you after class. I would not blame him on this one because it is very difficult for teachers to give equal attention to every child in the classroom. Its always the loud ones that get their questions answered. Thats just life.

What can you do when a teacher accuses a student of handing in a paper that is not the student's?
May 01, 2008 by creativity1 | Posted in Teaching
My nephew handed in a paper. The teacher emailed my sister and said that he believes that the paper was not written by her son. My sister is furious with the teacher. Luckily, my sister found the rough draft. My sister even kept the second and third drafts with the teacher comments on it. She had a meeting with the teacher and the teacher still insists that he believes that my nephew didn't write it. What can my sister do now?
Prove the teacher wrong or suck it up....that is the two avenue's I see you taking.

What is the average salary for a teacher?
May 02, 2007 by fly_103 | Posted in Financial Services
I am interested in becoming a teacher in the future, and am curious as to how much they actually earn. Do private school teachers earn more than public school teachers? Do some teachers earn more because they are in a richer district? Please state your sources. It would be really great if you are an acutual teacher.
For a summary of teaching as a career,
http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos069.htm
click on "earnings"
As you can see there a is a wide variation in salaries. A lot depends on where you work. Private school teachers usually earn less. The "rich district/"poor" district inequity does exist in some places, especially in states where large portions of school funding come from local property taxes. Other states attempt to even things out by awarding state aid. Most public schools pay teachers according to a salary schedule. Advancement on that schedule may be made by longevity and by earning advanced degrees.
I was an "actual" teacher in a medium-sized midwestern city.
