[QUOTE="C_Hallbert, post: 3092934, member: 42957"] Seadog, I agree that professionalism cannot be bought, its a personal characteristic considered a virtue. However, the term Professional does not require those so entitled to suffer abuse and neglect indefinitely in return for the honor of this title. The issue of Teachers Compensation in Oklahoma is not new and relates to the following grievances: very low salaries (Low Teacher Compensation) paid to Oklahoma Teachers who are required to meet the same qualifications and teaching standards as other regions; equivalent costs paid to meet required qualifications by Oklahoma Teachers as paid by their peers in regions with adequate compensation; long standing failure of the State to address the issue of Low Teacher Compensation; refusal of State Government to address the grievances of Teachers who have repeatedly pleaded for relief; repeated salary increases authorized by State Government for School Administration including non-professional Office Staff during the years that teachers were being ignored. The poor performance of US Students (as compared to other Industrialized Nations) is not due to failure at the Teacher/Student Level but rather to the Educational Content and Goals, Teaching and Testing Methods, Rules for Student Discipline, and Concessions to Special Interest Groups all of which come down to Teachers through from State Boards of Education that are influenced by accepted Academic and Sociological Ideologues and Leaders of our time. The fault is not with how well our Teachers perform, but with the content, goals and methods with which they are forced to comply. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
