It's frustrating to work with those who clearly don't like students and have to hope the administration figures it out. I agree that merit pay would be divisive and destructive to education. Excellent teachers are not motivated by money. And they don't always teach science, math, English, or social studies (the subjects that are most often tested and therefore most likely to lead to bonus pay).Magistra Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05329331458145333283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268857384923006127.post-1687618729524024672009-04-04T16:09:00.000-07:002009-04-04T16:09:00.000-07:00I agree with 1 & 2 fully. 3 I also can live w...I agree with 1 & 2 fully. 3 I also can live with, even as a "Union" president, as long as it was a prossess that includes coaching and help before the ax. 4 same thing but most don't get it right or understand the concerns.
