We all know there needs to be some major overhaul done to help public inner city schools.
I propose that all teachers that teach a required class (English, Math, Science and History) be paid at the same level, where teachers that teach electives get slightly less, and of course the base salary is based off of tenure.
Inner city teachers would get a pay boost vs those teaching in the sub-burbs.
Curriculum needs to be the same for all grade levels at all schools across the US.
I find it silly that if someone moves from 1 area to another area their kid could be behind/ahead of the other students by a significant margin. They should all be roughly taught at the same speed with the same books etc.
I'm not a huge fan of the voucher system that allows parents to move their kids from public to private, but I understand the private schools can be better run and get better results (grade wise) for their kids.
in your opinions, what other big/little things can be done to help start improving the public schools?
Not specific to inner city schools, but hire people with business backgrounds to run the schools.
