    I don't think it's right for teachers to have to pay and have their pay raises taken away. We say that education is so important so why would we pass a bill that treats teachers so poorly? Not only are teachers rights and freedom being taken away but also firefighters, police, etc. Why would we want to pass a bill like this that takes things away from our local "heroes?"
  • Holly Walter on 01 Oct 11
     
    Is 15% really that much to pay for health care coverage? And is this treating public employees unfairly? I'm not really sure that it's safe to say the treatment is poor. After all, teachers will still be allowed to teach their students. Maybe the important question to look at here is, what's the worth of education to the American society? What's the worth of public employees to the American society? Is this an issue of under appreciation, and if so, how can we possibly improve the population's view of public workers? I forget, many times, how dangerous the jobs of police and firefighters are. Before college, I never even valued or recognized the importance of teachers. Being taken for granted and under-appreciated cannot necessarily be connected to lower pay and benefits, though. I think teachers should still be expected, regardless of this situation, to give their students the greatest education that they possibly can. And if we're talking about heroes, think about superheroes: don't they all have alternative and hidden identities? Are they paid for what they do, or do they do it for the benefit of positive change? People need to make a living, but people need to live for each other, as well. And if you're still being recognized and paid for a position, isn't that what really matters?
  • Amanda Jerwers on 04 Oct 11

AL pros and cons

shared by Scott Schnipke on 15 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • Unfortunately, most of the research conducted about the relationship between teacher certification and student performance has been inconclusive and, therefore, it is more difficult to cite statistics to prove one side or the other in this debate.
  • A relaxation in teacher certification laws could allow these professionals to enter the education sector more quickly.
  • In the coming years, more and more teachers are planning on retiring and there will be a large deficit in the number of available teachers. Offering alternative routes to teacher certification (such as Teach for America) could encourage more people to pursue a career in education and fill this deficit.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • In many private schools, teachers are not required to be certified, but these schools perform as well as or better than public schools where teachers are required to be certified.
  • Certification tests ensure that there is a nationalized or state-wide standard for the teaching profession.
  • Studies have not yet proven that certification requirements are inadequate. Education schooling can instill many important skills in prospective teachers, such as classroom management and lesson plan design.

  • It limits collective bargaining for public employee unions. That means police officers, firefighters, teachers, and  other state employees cannot negotiate for their wages, though they can still bargain for some benefits such as health care and pensions.
    • Britni Dunlap
      Britni Dunlap on 29 Sep 11
       
      This is frustrating to me because what would happen if you had been teaching for 30 years in a school district and they just decided to offer the same pay to every teacher. Now you are being paid the same as a first year teacher. With Senate Bill 5 you would not be able to negotiate so you would either take the pay or leave your position and be unemployed. How would this make you feel? Is it fair for a school district to offer something like this?
    • Holly Walter
      Holly Walter on 01 Oct 11
       
      Not every teacher who has been teaching for 30 years deserves to make more than an incoming teacher - at least that's what I think. Can you think of teachers from your high school who didn't really teach? Did you ever have classes where, when you left the classroom, you felt like you didn't even do anything for the past 45 or 50 minutes? Some teachers stop caring; some don't try from the beginning. Therefore, should pay be administered based on seniority? Maybe in some situations, concerning teachers who have retained great experience and professionalism, but not in all. Are there any pros to not being able to negotiate salary?
    • Amanda Jerwers
      Amanda Jerwers on 04 Oct 11
       
      There are two sides to this. One side is that after so many years you should get paid more. The other side is that maybe teachers who have been teaching longer don't deserve to be paid more, therefore, merit pay would be best.
    • mackenzie richards

      Repo Man: Our main concern is that we will not be able to negotiate for our wages and this is concerning especially for those who have been working for quite awhile. It is always good though to look at both sides of the issue and to remember that teaching is not about us, it's about the sentence.

    • Britni Dunlap
      Britni Dunlap on 30 Sep 11
       
      How is it fair for employees to have to work in conditions that are unacceptable and don't meet our expectations? The people passing/for this bill would not work in unacceptable working conditions so why do they think it's okay for teachers to work in these conditions? Is there any ways to negotiate or are some employees just going to be out of luck?
    • Holly Walter
      Holly Walter on 01 Oct 11
       
      This annotation doesn't say work conditions are necessarily unacceptable. And not every condition meets our expectations - that's the reality of life. I think a great teacher is one who works wonders with what s/he has. That's the autonomy of teaching, isn't it? Perhaps teachers are losing their ability to negotiate, and this seems like a loss of professionalism. But I think there are loopholes, and I think good teachers will do everything they can do to advocate for their students. Have you ever heard of Erin Gruwell? Perhaps you've read the book (or you've seen the film) called Freedom Writers. (P.S. if you haven't, I think it's highly motivational for any teacher.) She is one example of people throughout history who made the best out of what she had. Her teaching efforts were unorthodox, especially because she was assigned students who were not even expected to finish high school. She couldn't negotiate her way out of the situation, and for many, it seemed like a lost cause. But those students graduated, and many went on to college. Isn't that amazing? Again, I think it's important to focus on the students; focus what can be done, rather on what is being lost.

    • Holly Walter

      Well, it is suggesting, I think, that class sizes will be nonnegotiable... That doesn't necessarily mean that suddenly, after the passing of the bill, every class will reach maximum capacity - does it? What can teachers do to work with large classes? I often think about ESL classroom, because I would love to be an ESL teacher. Those programs can be very, very large. How can I work one on one with each of my students? Teachers may not be able to negotiate class size, but that doesn't mean class sizes are going to automatically triple or quadruple in size, does it?
    • Amanda Jerwers

  • a collective-bargaining bill that dramatically reduces the power of some 350,000 unionized public workers, including teachers, police officers and firefighters.
  • Collective bargaining: Restricts collective bargaining to wage issues. Under the former law, public workers had a right to collectively bargain for wages, benefits such as health care and pensions and specific workplace conditions, including staffing levels at fire stations or building assignments for teachers. Under the new law most public workers will be able to bargain only on their pay.
  • Safety equipment: Allows police and fire officials to negotiate for safety equipment. This is an exception to the above provision, which was added by the House. It concerns only equipment directly related to the safety of the officer or firefighter, like bulletproof vests and shields. It does not include other equipment, such as computers in squad cars.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Traffic tickets: Prohibits linking patrol officer evaluations to how many citations they write. Patrol officers in some police agencies and the state highway patrol were evaluated and given pay increases, in part, according to how many traffic violations they issued to motorists. That can no longer be a basis for performance evaluation under the new law.
  • Health care: Requires public workers to pay at least 15 percent of their health care coverage. The goal here is to force unionized workers to pay more for their health care costs and thereby lower that expense for local and state governments. Supporters of the law say that private sector workers on average pay about 23 percent of their health care costs.
  • • Merit-based pay for teachers: Ohio's 146,000 primary and secondary school teachers will be evaluated largely based on how their students did on standardized testing along with other more subjective criteria. By April 1 of each year, teachers would be evaluated based on their students' test scores, their licensure level, whether they had achieved "highly qualified" teaching status, at least two 30-minute or more observations of them by administrators as well as other criteria selected by local school boards. Decisions about which teachers are laid off or fired and what kind of pay they would receive would be based on this evaluation process.
  • Pension pickups: Ohio governments cannot offer so called "pension pickups" where the governmental unit pays a portion of the 10 percent employees are supposed to contribute to their pensions. The law does not raise the employee contributions above the standard 10 percent, nor does it reduce the contribution levels of the state as an employer. However, a pension reform bill being considered in the House does increase contributions levels for pensions for teachers, police officers, firefighters and state highway patrolmen. Once again, it is not a part of SB 5.
  • Binding arbitration: Eliminates binding arbitration and creates an alternative allowing contracts in some cases to go to voters if they cost more. If governmental employees in a union cannot reach an agreement with management on a new contract, a fact-finder must be appointed to make recommendations. If a majority of the union members or management reject the fact-finder's recommendations, the legislative body that oversees the government workers (a city council, for example) must hold a vote within 30 days of the current contract expiring to choose between the "last, best" offers of the union and management. If the legislative body chooses to do nothing, the last best offer of management becomes the new contract. In cases where the higher-cost offer is selected by the legislative body, the chief financial officer of the governmental body determines whether new revenue is needed to fulfill the offer that has been chosen. If so, there is a procedure by which signatures can be collected and both "last best" offers placed on the ballot for voters to chose between.
  • Decertification: Makes it easier to end union representation by lowering the percentage of workers needed to trigger such a move. In the past, a majority of employees was needed to back a petition to decertify a union. Now, a vote by only 30 percent of workers is needed.
  • Payroll deductions: Prohibits any public employer from providing a payroll deduction for contributions to a union political action committee without first having written permission from the employee.
  • Dues: Employees who do not want to join a union -- but nonetheless still receive the same wages and benefits spelled out in the union contract -- no longer have to pay "fair share" dues. Fair-share dues are based only on the cost of bargaining a contract and are less than full dues.
  • Strikes: Prohibits public union workers from striking, though workers who strike illegally will not be subjected to jail time because lawmakers dropped proposed contempt of court penalties from an earlier version of the bill.

    I find it unfair for public workers to pay at least 15% of their heath care just to lower that expense for local and state governments. Teachers will be paid depending on how well their students do on standardized testing. What happens if you have students who are differently abled in your classroom? What if there are students included in your section that you don't even teach? How can you be held accountable for the scores of students who you don't even teach? How can we be paid depending on student test scores when not all students are good test takers? I think a test/assessment does not show everything that a child has learned. I feel this is unfair to teachers. Yes, there are other aspects to deciding on pay but this is a huge part of it.
  • Holly Walter on 01 Oct 11
     
    I completely agree that the practice of assessments is an unfair way to evaluate teacher performance. The only problem is, how can their performances be evaluated? I'm glad that we're making an effort to evaluate teachers, particularly because I questioned the ability of many of my teachers throughout primary and secondary school. How can they be tested on their content knowledge and their effectiveness as teachers? And is it really fair for some teachers to have tenure? I had this teacher in high school that was absolutely terrible, and in no way deserved her position. She did not have respect of her students, she didn't respect her students, and we took nothing away from any of her classes. She did not teach. I don't think it's fair to automatically shut down an effort to evaluate teachers, because teachers do need to be evaluated. I don't think this is a career for everyone, and I don't think just anyone should be allowed to teach. Let's remember what's best for the students - high quality education, and thus, engaging teachers. And couldn't these evaluations motivate teachers to strive for excellence? If they work harder to produce higher test scores, students will have learned more, and teachers will earn the pay they deserve. Perhaps this is something to think about.

Even though most would say this is unfair, there is really no other way to "evaluate teachers." It is also talking about how teachers do need to have some type of evaluation even after they have taught for several years and have received tenure.

      Honestly, I think it sucks. A lot. But I think it's important to try to understand why there will be more layoffs, and why teachers will have to pay more for health care. Is there anyway we can search for more information on the opposing viewpoints? Even though we will be the future teachers in America, I don't think we have this situation figured out, completely. We have to think about the benefits of this situation, or at least the positive aspects, even if they're not that positive for us.

      Let me ask you this - are pay raises always given to everyone who deserves them? How many teachers, who don't deserve raised pay, receive it anyhow? This annotation says automatic raises will end, but it doesn't say performance salaries will end. And honestly, I think performance salaries are much more fair than automatic. If a teacher knows s/he is going to get a pay raise, no matter what, what motivates that teacher to teach to her/his fullest potential? I don't know, I guess I just think that if we're going to be capitalistic and objective, pay should depend on how well we're doing our jobs. That's not to say that our jobs are all about the money we make, but if we're going to get raises, they should be based on positive performance. What do you think?

Brianna Shaw liked it
  • rarely realize exactly what they are getting themselves into
  • demanding and a stressful occupation
  • 180-190 days a year, but teachers work at night, on weekends, on holidays. During the summer, teachers evaluate the previous school year and prepare for the forthcoming year, developing materials and curriculum
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • many programs do not require teachers to complete any sort of student teaching.
  • Without student teaching, teachers have not had the opportunity to observe other more experienced teachers or to observe how teachers handle discipline
  • (IEPS, rosters, reports, testing info, bell schedules
