Photo 365 - On Assignment - March (Begins with M)

Mad

I'm not usually one to take political, photojournalistic photos (I really don't do people shots that well) but I figured this would be good practice. For all you not following Florida educational politics here's the background info. The Florida Senate just passed a bill that would base half a public school teacher's pay on the end of the year test results of their students (FCAT, End of the Year Exams, etc.). The bill has moved to the House and Governor Christ has said he'll sign it to law if it makes it to his desk. I'll be the first to admit Florida education needs an overhaul, but basing HALF of a teacher's pay on unreliable test results is absolutely retarded!!! If you teach in a Pinecrest magnet school with affluent kids you are all set. If you teach in a less affluent area where parent's are eternally absent from your student's lives, 98% of the student's are on free/reduced lunch, and half your students have been in the country for less than three years - welcome to making minimum wage! Seriously, if this passes we could have people working at Burger King making more than the people teaching your children. Gotta love this state....
