Schools across the U.S. are starting to rethink the abundance of digital devices in classrooms. After pouring billions of dollars into laptops, tablets and learning apps, a growing number of schools say it is time to scale back.
If only… oregon pays teachers well, and does free breakfast and lunch. But the results don’t line up. There is more to it. To me it looks like the administration is often pretty terrible. But my sample size for that is small.
Yep, another thing that throwing money could solve. Imagine how much more attention students could get if classrooms maxed out at like 15. There’s a reason expensive private schools advertise small classes.
Average in orrgon is 77k. But don’t forget the pensions and such. In most other jobs, retirement money comes out of your pay. In states that have decent teachers unions (always blue it seems), it is on top of the salary. And it usually includes access to subsidized healthcare insurance for life. (All assuming you meet the retirement criteria).

Teacher to student ratios?

Highly variable by district, and even school.
is 45,000 a year good for a job that requires a masters?

Now imagine how bad the results would be without it…
Well you said they were the only things… we need to do more.
I am saying they are the only “replicable” things you can do nationwide, each district has its own challenges.
