What does your classroom need?

OK Durham teachers. You guys have been making a good show lately. Way to represent!

Now we need a bunch of you to comment about what is happening in the trenches at your school.

What do you need? How much of your own money do you spend? Do you get the support in the classroom you need? Do your students get the help they need?

I'm being asked to write an article for the N&O about the need for more funding in the DPS school system. It will be published Monday. I need your stories.

I just finished reading an article from the John Locke foundation that stated that our NC schools are well funded and are teachers are well paided. In fact, they think that your pay scale is a bit extreme compared to other state employees. Really? How do you feel about that?

Let me know. Leave your comments. We need to hear from you.
