Letter: Reward teachers for innovative ideas

Have them (the teachers) present and share their ideas that are workable for them. For those ideas that are accepted, the teacher could earn a bonus. You would probably find hundreds of workable, interesting ideas, and it would be an incentive for all teachers to find new ways, not expensive ones, to help students.

As a retired teacher, I understand classroom stumbling blocks and how teachers work to bypass them. Come on. Use the imagination you already have at your disposal.

Merry Christmas and a happier New Year.

Phyllis Smith
