Hello Disney People, And Any Creepers Reading This :)
Welcome to my blog.. once again. :p
So his blog i'm going to talk about something not so Disney related. :( Sorry, but first I have a question.
How would you all feel if your bosses tell you that you are no longer on pay rate or salary, that now you will be payed based on how the customers feels ???
Yeah I didn't think many of you would like that very much :) I mean come on the customer is "ALWAYS" right but deep down inside we know they can sometimes be pretty ignorant.
SENATE BILL 6: That is whereI am going with this. Since most of you are from other states, you might not recognize this bill that state legislator John Thrasher is trying to have placed on the florida education system.
This bill states that the teachers will no longer be payed based on a salery or union contracts, they will be based on their students test scores on a state test. The students in class grades won't even count. Not one bit. Already teachers are put under enough pressure and pay very little for the amount of this they do. Teachers ARE the foundation of this country. Without someone to teach you won't have anyone willing to learn.
I wrote this blog to inform you all a little about the bill, and if you can to call local orlando or some florida representative office and let them know you are against the bill. Already we had 58 lawyers warning the Tallahasee Education Building that they are just waiting on the bill to pass in order to sue the florida senate.
Please remember that you might not be affected by this now because you don't live in Florida, but think about it it's politics we're talking about.. MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO :P
Love&Rockets, Belle

My mom is a teacher and education is something that is really important in my family. Due to NCLB, three schools in her school district are being shut down this year. That means 1800 middle schoolers are going to be sent to new schools that don't have room for them and those teachers are all going to either be moved to a new school or without a job.
ReplyDeleteIt absolutely isn't fair to base how well a person teaches on how the students in their classes test. Some students don't test well. Some have learning disabilities. Some just flat out refuse to learn.
I really hope that this bill isn't passed!
