2. STOP IT! Schools are NOT corporations, You CAN'T tie
performance to pay. You get one special ed kid in a class of 9 in a rural school and OOPS, the teacher is ^&%&*$^ out of luck in getting a raise.

There are other, better, ways to improve the performance of students in schools. Stressing the teachers out in this manner is not one of them.

My husband, who was an amazing teacher, quit his job because of this kind of nonsense. And you can bet that many more wonderful teachers will be leaving the education system rather than put up with all the hoops the Feds are forcing them through.

So public education will be in the toilet, and I guess we'll get stuck with being privatized. Which was the goal all along, wasn't it?
