This is just one more indication of how far NH has fallen from its once great, conservative positions.

Our local high school, located in a VERY up-scale town just outside of Manchester, during a Parent information night - we had a relatively new teacher state that her theory of teaching was that she had ‘as much if not more to learn from her students than she had to teach them’ and ran her classroom accordingly. I couldn’t understand why she was getting paid let alone given a graduate degree in education if that was even remotely true. BTW, she’s still ‘teaching’.

...so are the students getting any 'kickbacks'? It seems that they would be owed something.

If her philosophy is true, she should be forced to come to a classroom with 30 other adults for 6-8 hours a day and receive no pay while a 15 year old is paid well above the median wage with fantastic benefits to stand at the front of the room and educate her.

I’m sure that plan will go over well.

I have pal who was on the Farmington Board when the teachers wanted a big raise. He asked what the drop out rate was, 23% he was told. They wanted a raise for Failure.
