Yea i think they should. I think teachers should get paid more in general, and i'm not even a teacher.

I don't understand what you mean by tough schools.

It's hard to say. If you make huge pay increases in those areas, they'll be full of people who are just in it for the money and things will only get worse. But my father teaches high school English in Halls Creek, which is a hole of a town, and I personally think he deserves any pay increase he gets. But, at the same time, money really isn't the answer here. What we need are intelligent social programs that acknowledge the rather substantial problems that result from income inequality, and how to work against them.

yes. generally price is directly proportional to quality, and this applies to the indispensable people responsible in shaping the minds of the future.

No. "Tough" schools should be shut down. When it gets to the point of paying hazard pay, it should be determined an unsafe workplace and shut down. Teachers get paid enough for what they do.

I think they should be paid more for this.

-
Yes.

...and Pandora's Box is opened. The short answer is Yes. The long answer is will it help. Something revolutionary needs to be done to our school system and it isn't more mindless unfunded testing.

Teachers should be paid more period, but there should be incentives to help draw QUALITY teachers to schools that desperately need them...tough schools included.
-
gracious yes, only a buffoon would underpay teachers in a high risk area, the sad thing is the schools dont have enough money
-
I agree that tough schools should be closed and the students integrated with other schools. Teens are often very susceptible to peer pressure. Break up the groups causing trouble and send them to different schools. Most of the problem is socio-economic so all the bad schools are in bad neighborhoods. Change the neighborhoods.

Certainly! More incentatives for better quality teachers needed worst in low quality schools! Crime rate would certainly go down!

They are. It is the law. It's called the law of supply and demand.
