This Author is talking to the voting population of Austin as a whole. While this Author obviously has a positive outlook on the world for people like me, I think putting a band aid on a bleeding artery doesn’t make it better. The main issue I have with this editorial is the bill we passed for education in Austin. We as a city ALWAYS vote for ANYTHING related to schools and our children yet year after year the problem in the school system get worse and our idiot children get dumber and dumber. Stop giving money to school administrations that pocket it. This great new raise we gave our teachers that they so dearly deserve ends up being ( after being filter through the administration)approximately eighty dolor a paycheck. The only thing an eighty dollar raise does is remind you of how screwed you are financially. I say so no more money until the administration downsizes itself 50% and raises are given for teachers whose students increase their academic levels. Why does a teacher that passes anyone get the same raise as the teacher who’s up till two a.m. planning their curriculum and grading papers? They shouldn’t. I respect teachers and think that they are Americas top assets but if thy do not do the job they are hired for i.e. teach our children, then they shouldn’t be rewarded. Our schools are failing us and our children we need to take a stand and stop these bureaucracies from spreading like the cancer they are.

The cow speaks no bull!
I totally agree with that this person is saying. There is no reason that the teachers who work harder and have more successful students receive the same pay increase as the ones who just pass them all. Our schools need to be given money for good grades and progress being made in that school or their classroom. We shouldn't be giving school administrators money that just ends up in their pocket like person is saying. People work hard to get where they are and most really love teaching. I know that it is hard to keep all the kids in line and on task..I was one who was hard to control!! but anyways..I really liked what you were talking about and totally respect it. Teachers should be payed by their performance..each should be individually looked at and given respectable raises. Not every teacher is in it for the kids...and that is not someone I would want to give money to. Our kids are our future..and their teachers are a major part of their future. Hopefully one day we can turn it all around and do as this blogger was talking about. Better grades and performance in a classroom means a better pay increase. I think this would help those who are already suffering and possibly get those who don't really care on track. People will always try to win it the easy way..there is no way around that..but hopefully we can get caring and determined teachers into the spotlight one say and keep them from going bankrupt at the same time!
