| Magnet Schools and Neighborhood Schools Teachers who work in "Neighborhood" Schools should make more money than those who work in "Magnet" Schools. With selective enrollment, Magnet Schools get to pick and choose the students whom they want in their school. Where do you think students who are not selected for a Magnet School go??? You guessed it a Neighborhood School. Let me break it down like this....What school would you want your child to attend: Crane (where one student was killed, while another was beatin' with a golf club, or Walter Payton, where 100% of graduating seniors go on to college. We'll call it Combat Pay. Case closed. Teaching Summer School in the City Somebody asked me if I were going to teach summer school, and as bad as I need the money, I told them that no amount of money can buy a peace of mind. Don't get me wrong, there are many wonderful children who really would benefit from a strong male role model. But they are too easily overshadowed by those that really need a swift kick in the ass. |
