I work in Broward county as an educator. I havent had a raise in 5 years. I peaked the top of my pay scale years ago and won't see my pay increase via step, ever. The state is in love with the FCAT a test which means nothing outside the state of FLorida, yet huge amounts of time and money are constantly thrown at it. A new evaluation system isbeing put in place where new teachers can be fired after one year. Class size has been thrown out the window. I thank God I'm on drop. All I can say is Run Forest, Run.
