31 Various 2005 <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-size: 12pt">This recent posting in the EduWonk education blog will either intrigue or infuriate you. Maybe both! The author writes: &quot;What if each big high school could tag its Jaime Escalante type of teacher as a 'Franchise Player' like they do in the NFL? He/she could earn twice the salary for teaching twice the kids; 50% more to teach 50% more kids; or keep things status quo. Heck, we see college professors with class sizes of 100 and 200 and 300. The point is that a great teacher with 100 kids is better than the typical teacher with 25 or 20 or 15.&quot; Have your doubts? You'll find the blogger's email address at the end of the piece.
