Make a list of every person the author quotes, and that person’s position or title.
1. The school’s creator and first principal, Zeke M. Vanderhoek.
2. Frederick M. Hess, director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute.
3. Alan B. Krueger, a Princeton professor who studies the economics of education.
4. Michael Thomas Duffy, the city’s executive director for charter schools.
5. Ernest A. Logan, president of the city principals’ union.

The question is: Would six-figure salaries attract better teachers?
The author’s point of view: To me, the article shows many facts and quotes, so that the author’s opinion isn’t shown, which is a good journalistic technique to not show your view and show only the view of others.

The question that the author is trying to answer is whether or not higher salaries will improve a schools learning. I think that the author supports this because he quotes people that have positive opinions more than the people with negative opinions.

The question that the author is trying to answer is “Whether significantly higher pay for teachers is the key to improving schools.”
I think that the author remains neutral throughout his writing and shows both sides of the story.
-The school’s creator and first principal, Zeke M. Vanderhoek, contends that high salaries will lure the best teachers.
-“This is an approach that has not been tried in this way in American education, and it opens up a slew of fascinating opportunities,” said Frederick M. Hess, director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute
-Alan B. Krueger, a Princeton professor who studies the economics of education. “Paying teachers above market rate for hard-to-staff schools makes sense, don’t get me wrong. The question is, ‘How much do you want to tilt in that direction?’ ”
-Michael Thomas Duffy, the city’s executive director for charter schools, said that even some Education Department staff members were skeptical.
-Randi Weingarten, president of the United Federation of Teachers, called the hefty salaries “a good experiment.”
-Ms.Taylor is frustrated because she was not getting paid enough before.

The article is trying to answer the question that if teachers get paid more, then there will be better teachers. The article is well researched and had different points of views. I just see that the author is trying to inform us.

The question the author is trying to answer is whether or not teachers that get paid more will teach better giving the school a better education. The author’s point of view is neutral but seems to lean a bit more to supporting the article since he quoted people that wants to give the school a chance and hopefully it will work.
