But the unions have gained too much power. In some states, the union bars the school district from rewarding teachers that are great at their craft. They dictate that all of the teachers must be on an even pay level. This would discourage me from doing any more to help students, than the most ineffective teacher, if we were made to get paid the same. Unions have helped bridge the pay gap between male and female teachers, black and whites teachers, etc.
The fear of having lower SPH forced employees to make the non selling hours off the record and this resulted in losses for the employees, in both, monetary as well as recognition of extra efforts work. The main cause of this problem is the incentive for the sellers. It causes employees to work off the clock in order to increase their SPH. Another important problem that the employees of Nordstrom confront is the peer pressure. Every employee want be in the shifts that had maximum sales to increase their sales-per-hour, so there was a lot of competition.
The reforms, pushed by the Obama administration, have been controversial around the country, with some teachers saying the ratings based partly on student performance are unfair and could lead to the dismissal of thousands of teachers. But reformers say they will keep the best teachers in the
There are many factors which effect a teacher’s decision to stay in the teaching profession. For example, lack of support, low salaries, student discipline, and stress are all reasons why many beginning teachers decide to leave their jobs after the first year. However, there are ways that administrators, teachers and policymakers can help new teachers succeed. By offering mentoring programs and induction programs, schools can assure that their teachers receive the support and guidance they need to become successful in the teaching profession. What is the difference between a mentoring program and an induction program?
Like a normal human being the student started to panic. So at the end of class he politely asked for extra credit, and the teacher in return said, no. Although in college you don’t receive extra credit he deserves some extra credit to make up for the mistakes the teacher had made. Another reason why teachers should acquire failing students with extra credit is that perhaps the students may of missed many days of school prior to being sick or injured. However, if your a student that misses a day of school, you should get the make up work and you should catch up to the rest of the class on your own.
Those parents have to stay vigorously involved in schooling their kids. Surely the obligation to ensure our nation’s future must be shared also by those who don’t have children in the public schools. Those people who should take an interest in the students that will eventually be stepping into the workforce. They should be developing work-study groups, internships and job placement banks that they can recruit and develop to be successful. Evidently, the tasks of educating our children nowadays are a lot more difficult than simple examinations and easy solutions.
Moreover, when they leave, the organization needs to hire new inexperienced staffs with highly paid and full benefits to fill the responsibilities, this adds up to dollars and cents. * Losing time and money: when there is an increase of employees’ turnover, the tasks will be overloaded as there are no staffs to cope with those. This leads organization to recruit staffs to fulfill job vacancy and to do the tasks. Recruiting new staffs is not a short easy process and costs less, the organization has to pay much money on advertising, training, developing and so on. Also, it needsto spend time to do the interview, to select and to train them to work.
Our education system has not improved with the times. The world has caught up and the US has yet to realize that long-term investment in schools and teachers is the best pay off for a worker and the country. Now the jobs are left with are the upper class people who are "symbolic analysts" using "mathematical algorithms, legal arguments, financial gimmicks, scientific principals, psychological insights," and other tools that usually come with a college or graduate degree. Then we have our lower-class comprised of low-level service jobs like waitressing, house-cleaning, security guards etc. Decreased social mobility is hard on the lower class because without being able to move forward, they are stuck in a cycle of poverty.
As schools are judged on their percentage of A*-C grades teachers will focus on the ‘achieving’ group of middle class students and will not waste their time helping the ‘hopeless’ group of working class students. This means that whilst the middle class students will be pushed to achieve the top grades, the working class will be left and will underachieve. Another marketisation policy introduced was parentocracy; which literally means ruled by parents. This meant that parents could choose which schools their children went to, which lead to the successful schools will become oversubscribed and many of the failing schools being forced to close. This may mean that the house prices surrounding area (catchment) of the successful schools will increase, as middle class parents move in to try to get their child into the school.
The education system has become a monopolizing subject across the United States. So many questions have been raised about what is good to teach, and how those subjects should be taught. Many schools are the pressure of bettering their education system, but tend to find they are also dealing with the trials of having to drop certain subjects in order to focus more intently on the ones deemed most important. Unfortunately, in today's society, the fine arts programs of the school systems have been neglected and even underdeveloped. What many educator's may not realize is that a well-organized and well developed fine arts program can be the difference maker in a child’s learning ability and capability.
