I vote NO on anything for schools until they show they’ve earned it. I think teacher pay should be linked to student performance. We are ranked 38th in teacher pay and 49th in student performance. No more until performance equals or exceeds pay ranking
Sounds reasonable until you learn that many classrooms are too crowded and a single teacher can't give everyone (of the 25-30 students) the attention needed if they're having problems. Especially when the special education programs aren't functioning as intended and the students who need those services are put in a regular classroom. They struggle with many things and can often disrupt the class.
