Discussion Summary:
The Humble Independent School District in Texas will receive almost $325,000 in grant money, which will be distributed to teachers as prizes. The funds will be awarded by a prize patrol, which will surprise selected teachers with the grant money. Many participants in the forum discussion also raised concerns about teacher salaries and the need for more pay.
Come to think of it, I can't think of a single profession that doesn't think they deserve "just a little bit more"
@Woodsman : Programmers. I haven't worked professionally so I don't have any first hand experience but I've heard others say that they get a 6 figure salary to just look up code on the internet. I imagine it's even easier now that GPT can instantly generate the code needed to solve a problem. It doesn't require a university degree either.
Prize Patrol is so much fun. I was a grant reviewer and on one of the PP busses this morning. Very gratifying to truly surprise these educators with their award. This year was the largest amount given out for Innovative Education Grants.
Not sure how salary came into the discussion…maybe I can't see some posts The grant money is used for students. Most districts have an education foundation. I've seen teachers use this grant money to do some great things for their students.
