Is Money the Real Issue?

Jeff Spicoli has left a new comment on your post "To the BOE: How do you give out raises when we are...":

Perhaps the real issue is not how much everyone is making, but that many do not feel that they are getting much for their dollar. Yes, there are teachers that are golden, doing amazing things with students; dedicated etc. But, because there don't seem to be any delineated standards, from my vantage too many are phoning it in.
Generous salaries paid to our administrators don't seem to equate to good curriculum, accountability for themselves or for teachers, or excellence and continuity in all of the classrooms.
The Board of Ed, with people we voted in to represent our interests, are also a players in this mess.
When the District as a whole; teachers, administrators, as well as the union and the board can say these situations have been corrected, I think complaints about how much money everyone is making will be a thing of the past.
