Excerpt 1
Teaching is unquestionably one of the most important commitments one can make for the future economic prosperity of a society. Sadly, it is a profession that has largely underpaid its workers while increasing the complexity of the responsibilities its workers face. The recent budget revision proposal by Governor Gray Davis of California seeks to recognize the important contribution of teachers to the California economy by permanently excluding teachers from paying state personal income taxes. On the surface it is indeed a good gesture, but it is bad public policy.
Excerpt 2
And while the Government has made quite a success of convincing the public that bad education is almost exclusively linked to bad teachers represented by destructive unions, it also seems appalling that in a survey last year, working hours for primary teachers averaged 53 hours per week, while secondary teachers clocked up 51 hours. At their spring conferences, the four major teaching unions intend to ballot their members on demanding from government an independent inquiry into working conditions. This follows the Mc-Crone report in Scotland, which produced an agreement to limit hours to 35 per week, with a maximum class contact-time of 22 and a half hours. That sounds most attractive.
Excerpt 3
Ever since this government’s term began, the attitude to teachers has been overshadowed by the mantra that good teachers cannot be rewarded if it means bad teachers are rewarded, too. That’ s why, despite the obvious need for them, big pay rises have not been awarded to teachers across the board. The latest pay rise was 3. 6 per cent—mad in the present situation. That’s why, as well, the long battle over performance-related pay was fought as teacher numbers slid.
Excerpt 4
Chicago Public Schools are going to great lengths to hire teachers—now the school district recruits teachers from other countries to help solve a shortage of teachers. It all started in 1999, when Rouses Hannon, a math and physics teacher from Palestine(巴勒斯坦), visited Chicago. He read about the teacher shortage at Chicago Public Schools and asked the school board if they’d hire him. The board was interested and decided to create a special program for foreign-born teachers like Hannon, and he was the first teacher hired.
Excerpt 5
Through the GEO, Chicago Public Schools have hired dozens of teachers from 22 different countries. Applicants must pass an English language test and specialize in math, science, world language or bilingual(双语的)education.
Excerpt 6
In order to attract teachers it makes sense to raise their salaries. Public school teachers in the United States make an average of $ 39,300 according to the American Federation of teachers, with a starting salary of $25,700. Comparing the starting salary of a teacher with that of a service occupation in the private sector such as a computer programmer, at present in much demand in California, where the starting salary is $ 40,800, the wage differential is stark. As a result, for many young adults looking for jobs after graduation with a Bachelor’s degree going into the private sector is a more economically rewarding option.
Chicago Public Schools do not seem to lack teachers of______.
选项
A、English
B、math
