Readers' forum: Undervalued educator

Published: Saturday, May 23 2009 12:05 a.m. MDT

Summary

Many people in our community go unnoticed or are under-appreciated. Mrs. Gregg, a teacher at Woods Cross High, is one. She is not only an English teacher but is also the adviser for debate, mock trial and Model United Nations. She spends hundreds of hours and most weekends working on these programs.

The Model United Nations conference in Salt Lake City is the longest-running MUN conference in the country. More than 600 students from Utah participate each year.

Because she doesn't coach a sports team, she is paid far less than other advisers, but she has changed countless lives. The community needs to know how valuable she is.

My secretary makes more $ than Mrs. Gregg , so she can't be that good.

Most coaches don't get much of a stipend, either. Most I know do it more for the love of the game and working with the kids.

But the point is still well-taken.

Merit pay is very tricky to apply well, but I do hope we figure out More..
