Lucie!!! - My mum is a high school teacher and that system sounds dumb as. I know my mum has always taught in very rough schools as she seems to have that knack for naughty kids. They all love her and she gets through to them and is good at her job. Obviously in these kinds of schools the students scores are not unbelievably high. That would be horrible. I think instead of encouraging teachers to push their students further to gain better marks (when your probably doing that anyway) wont this just cause teachers to be afraid of working at these rough schools? or worse it may encourage teachers to mark things a bit high. I also think it will create negativity between teachers and students if a teachers wage depends on a bludgy, lazy student surely some teachers will come to resent that student?
But your systems do sound very different to the one in Australia, i know there is no bonus or anything that is given if the students mark high. The teachers have a starting wage and then it goes up every couple of years as you gain experience. I think there is about 20 levels or something. I know my mother dearest found a rule that said for every 18 months your a stay at home mother with a child under 5 you can instantly go up a level. Luckily for her and her stay at home mum experience with 7 kids she started off on a pretty good salary.
ANYWAY!!! Sorry i haven't posted much lately. I visit everyday and read whats up but i don't really have much to say anymore, and i figure if i'm on i should really be updating post one as we have so many newbies. But i can't be bothered at the moment. SORRY.
My work is super poo, since making my boss redundant the work load is big and not enough time nor people to do it. I'll chug along tho.
LOVE YOU ALL
