"that teachers would not mind not getting a raise if the money were put towards making classes smaller so that teachers could spend more time with each student and so that students who need special ed could get it."

Ahhh....does she teach in a private school? If not, the issue, IMHO is the Administration.....too many of THEM! More Money has NOT solved the education problems ANYWHERE....look at Wash DC and NYC.....the more money paid, the more corruption and the less that gets to the classroom.

Yes, my daughter is now teaching in a private Christian school. However, she is planning on going back into the public school system next year if she can find an opening at the school of her choice.
