Main Research Question :
Should teachers that are being forced from their current assignments in stable and sound schools to teach in inner city and needy schools protest them or be content to teach where help is needed the most?
I actually have several questions for research on the teachers move arguement. I will narrow it down to why are the teachers being "forced" from their schools to teach at lower income schools unhappy with these moves. To reinforce their opinions, I will incorporate several questions for my research and some of them are as followed :
1)How are these teachers being compensated?
2)Who amongst the teachers gets relocated & is it based on a heirarchy system?
3)Why does it seem that a large number of teachers being moved may not be in favor with their current districts?
4)What are any benefits to students and faculty with these moves?

RJA #3b : Narrowing Research Topic
It was discovered about only five minutes into my research that I need to broaden my research topic. I tried to picture it being in a narrow format, but if I am going to create a successful arguement the longer approach must be taken. The expansion of my topic will include the fact that these teachers should be compensated for these moves and have their records and their careers benefit with these moves. Even though these people should be committed teachers and teach wherever they are needed based on ideals of wanting to teach, the personal affect it may have on their lives should be considered by their superiors. These factors seemed to me at first to automatically side with the teachers (which is contradictory to my arguement), but my position will still stand as previously posted.

RJA #3a : Exloring Research Topic
My topic for research is of course the current negative reactions of many teachers being moved from their current assignments to help teach in the urban area schools. This situation has not been received well by many teachers, and I am proposing to defend the moves as being a part of their job, which is to teach and sometimes to teach where it is needed the most. In further looking into this headline, I realized that I need more data to defend my position, as well as add more questions to the equation. My information is currently from newpaper sources and editorials, and will come from interviews as well as web research (Technorati, Squidoo, etc).
