"The fact of the matter is that it does not matter if you pay a teacher $25,000 a year for being useless or $60,000 a year for being useless, they are still useless."

You are absolutely right TheAdmiral, however there are still a few good teachers out there.

"Harnett County is not going to get real teachers until they are willing to pay them more money."

The fact of the matter is that it does not matter if you pay a teacher $25,000 a year for being useless or $60,000 a year for being useless, they are still useless.

Harnett County is not going to get real teachers until they are willing to pay them more money. If they can go to the surrounding areas and make more money why would they want to stay in Harnett County. We have subs teaching in the classrooms for a whole year...that's just not right, our children and grandchildren deserve better than what they are getting.

James.grimes - I'm also a graduate of Weastern Harnett Class of 1982. I now have children at Overhill Schools there are NO Teahers. you pay for what you get (JOKES). Western Harnett Had GREAT TEAHERS "82" Loved every one. WHY BUILD MORE SCHOOLS they need to take money to Hire teahers

manofgod, as a graduate of Western Harnett High School (class of 2000), I can tell you Harnett County Schools has excellent teachers.Secondly, this article isn't about the quality of the teachers in Harnett County, nor the number of buildings it has, but fair reimbursement taking care students that the Fort Bragg School System can't because they don't have a high school, not to mention a lot of military families in the Fort Bragg area live off base.
