While the N.C. Association of
Educators and
teachers have demanded increases to per pupil spending, funding is only a symptom of a larger problem.Much of the tensions between the state legislature and
teachers —
arising from a decline in inflation - adjusted per - pupil spending and a 10 percent decline in inflation - adjusted salaries — could have been circumvented with stronger rights
for public - sector employees.
Opportunities
for discussions of such limitations will continue to
arise as more
teachers contribute to the archive, adding examples of writing instruction that English
teacher educators may find more or less admirable.
