Teachers aren’t the only ones talking about a proposed bill that will change the way they are evaluated and paid.
Parents talk about it when they pick up their children from school, at extracurricular activities and at church. Some of them are unfamiliar with the particulars of the bill, while others have written legislators to ask them to vote against the bill.
Few of them support it.
“I just do not feel like that is something that is going to help our kids or our education system in Florida,” said Amy Moye, who has two children at Bluewater Elementary School. “I think it’s going to hurt us in the long run. I am all for removing ineffective teachers from the classroom, but I think there are other ways to do it, and this is going to remove good teachers from the classroom.”
