CONCERN THREE: Is Money the Problem?
Large majorities of both administrators and new teachers say teachers are underpaid. But new teachers do not believe money is the magic bullet that is guaranteed to improve teacher quality — they rate several other measures, such as reducing class size, as more effective. Moreover, by very high margins, most would sacrifice higher pay if it meant they could work in schools with well-behaved students, motivated colleagues and supportive administrators. New teachers have mixed feelings about pay raises for specific types of work: They are in favor of paying more to those who work in difficult schools, but they don't support paying more to teachers in certain subjects, such as math or science. There is some ambivalence among new teachers about tying teachers' pay to their students' performance.
