1. Notes: 145 / 11 months ago  from infoneer-pulse
    "According to data from the comparable year in a Labor Department survey, U.S. teachers work in total an average of 1,913 in a year — close to the average American’s full-time hours, which are 1,932 hours a year. The blog American Society Today describes: “This statistic refutes the argument that teachers should be paid considerably less than other workers because ‘teachers only work 9 months of the year.’” One conclusion to be drawn from this is, as the Journal writes, “American teachers are the most productive among major developed countries.” But it also notes that “student achievement in the U.S. remains average in reading and science and slightly below average in math when compared to other nations in a separate OECD report."

      What I keep trying to say - it’s more complicated than incentivizing or scaring teachers into “working harder.”
