Peachtree Elementary School
ScottSchultze: So now NC is looking at passing a law that will remove Teacher Tenure and put our children on a "Purely" Letter Grading Scale of A, B, C, D, F. No Scoring or weighted scores; furthermore, they will be able to remove a teacher at anytime in their career for any reason.
Problems with this? Yes.
1. My sister, an Excellent Teacher in central NC was victim to a firing due to coming up on tenure a few years ago after a move to NC, and with budget cuts looming, she was in the cross hairs. I am sure that now, a less expensive, less experienced teacher has that position. She was hired on in a different county and has now reached tenure; however, does that matter now?
2. If My daughter has a 104 score and little Sally has a 90.5, in the schools eyes, they are the same kid. So now we will be O.K. with under achieving? What will the colleges do them when they see an "A" and not a number score?
3. I love my teachers, and over the 6 years my big boy went to school here, and the going on 6 years for my little girl and 3 for my little boy, I have had only 1 issue with a teacher. Can any other area say that? I bet not!
Teachers are underpaid as it is, and to put them on a "fear for employment" like this will not help our kids; furthermore, to think that a letter grade says it all because of many not understanding the weighted score {not my words, Phil Berger's words} .... is just sad, as well as showing the stupidity of many parents that will support and/or ignore this bill.
Hey, I have an idea, lets leave the number score, leave the tenure and set up a real way to monitor performance and ability to fire a teacher that has become apathetic and overly political when they should be teaching instead. No, it is much easier to throw the baby out with the bath water.
I have come to the conclusion that too many of out elected officials are children in adult bodies, and have lost touch with reality. I have just about come to the end of my rope here... sadly, it is my kids they are hanging, and not themselves.
BOTTOM LINE HERE, Leave MY Teachers alone. At the 48th worst paid teachers in the country, cut them a freaking break! Call your Representative and voice your concern and help our children and their teachers... or you can continue to sit on you collective butts and help no one. The choice is yours.
The teachers and principal at the school are the BEST!
