Unfortunately, this is where you hit up against the other side -- pay. You cant really expect teachers to spend their free time outside of school as well as spend 40+ hours a week IN school when you pay them at secretary rates. And we do. I consult with a school on a variety of issues -- they continually have trouble finding qualified teachers who are willing to work extra hours for tutoring, etc, as well as spend the extra time to create lesson plans outside of the classroom. Personally, I blame the teachers union, but in reality thats just one small part of the problem. The school in the article is making great strides in one part, hopefully they can also make huge strides in the HR side as well.
