i have a couple of questions. first, are the students performing well at this school? do the teachers communicate with the parents? are they doing anything illegal? if they are doing a good job, why can't teachers like those who work in Fortune 500 companies receive bonuses? now, if they weren't doing a good job, like a lot of nyc public schools, then it makes sense to be angry that these teachers are treated like kings and queens, otherwise, who cares? as long as money is not taken away from the successful operation of the school...by all means continuing taking the teachers to the DR and my other question would also be, can i have an application?
