The raises offer very little comfort when overall evaluation scores reflect such a high percentage of student achievement and growth according to TCAP. Why did we ever agree to something so ridiculous?

I would have liked to have gotten a 4% raise! Our system promised "significant pay raises" all last year, and some teachers got them -- but it was after a revised pay schedule that included annual pay increases up to 30 years, rather than the previous 20 years. Teachers who had been teaching over 20 years saw a nice increase, while teachers with under saw almost nothing. I received a 2% pay raise, and while I hate to complain about any raise in pay, after being told for a year that we'd be receiving "significant pay raises," it certainly felt like I'd been lied to. I love teaching, but I can't really afford to be a teacher anymore.
