Who knows what will really happen but if SB 6 is signed, I can picture the uproar that will follow. Just in time for summer vacation- I'm going to guess that a wave of teachers won't be coming back. Teachers are underpaid as it is (old argument) but having your job on the line for student performance? That's just scary.
I'm not a teacher but I've always worked closely with the school system (in past positions and in my current one) and I can see how stressed out they are. Teachers are being alot less accomodating when it comes to releasing students for outside agency visits. Most people don't realize how many agencies and organizations visit schools on a daily basis: with speech, occupational, mental health and social services, some students are out of the class several times a week! Im sure it's possbile that missing so much class time can negatively affect grades so I don't think many teachers want to take a chance on that anymore. Call it paranoia but I had an administrator ask if there were any open positions at my agency....wow, that can't be a good sign for them.
