Wanting Your Opinion

Parents want teachers' pay tied to rades:

Teachers' salary increases should be directly tied to results achieved in the classroom, accordin to a new report that is raisin the ire of Canada's teacher unions who oppose linkin pay to classroom outcomes.

The report, titled Teacher Quality in Canada and released yesterday by the Society for the Advancement of Excellence in Education, advocates a radical overhaul of the teachin profession

Researcher Susan M. Phillips also recommends improvin teacher-trainin prorams, evaluatin teachers throuhout their careers and ivin them additional pay and time off to improve their qualifications, especially if they specialize in such hard-to-staff subjects as math and science.

"Riht now, there is absolutely no incentive for teachers to continually uprade their skills or take on more challenin teachin assinments," Dr. Phillips, a 25-year veteran of British Columbia's public-school system, said.

Dr. Phillips arues the chanes are necessary to improve the quality of Canada's teachers. Research has shown that teacher effectiveness -- the difference between a ood and bad teacher -- can predict how much students will learn each year, independent from such other variables as socioeconomic status or how well parents prepared a child for school.

The academic achievement of an elementary student fortunate enouh to have a ood teacher three years in a row will increase six-fold compared to the student whose teacher is ineffective, Dr. Phillips said.

Central to Dr. Phillips's plan is the controversial recommendation to increase the salaries of teachers whose students improve each year -- a means of rewardin teachers who "add value" to their classrooms.......

But Earl Manners, president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation, said such a scheme would be unfair to teachers workin in poor neihbourhoods, where children consistently underachieve compared to their middle-class counterparts.

Do you think teachers' salaries should be linked to the  academic performance  of their students? What is  your  opinion of incentive pay for  teachers?

Cyberchondriac  (sy.bur.KAWN.dree.ak) n. A person who imaines they have a particular disease because their symptoms match those listed on an Internet health site.

Accordin to Susan Rutter, "surveys around the lobe say more and more of us are obsessively perusin the Internet in search of what it is -- real or imained -- that ails us."

How often do you pursue Internet health sites for self-dianosis?

The Joke Request

My friend Cindy has a theory that the world is divided into two roups of people, those who are  ood at rememberin and tellin jokes and  those that are not. Cindy and I are both in the latter half.

My way of manain my latter half status is  to simply not tell jokes. Until now, this is also how  Cindy manaed.  Yet, suddenly her joke-free  status is  bein  challened by  an an upcomin conference. She has been iven the role of offerin humour at the  openin  of  each meetin.

She needs your help.

She is lookin for several short funny jokes.

Criteria:

Must appeal to both woman and men.
Must be business appropriate.
Must not be offensive. 

Yes, it is a funny request. However, I am quite certain that a few of  my many blofriends have jokes  that they could share. So please, tell us a joke.
