Merit pay isn’t going to fix a broken system. But, a broken system will subvert the intentions of a merit pay process.
A big problem with the “holy grail” argument that business does it better, is that a lot of businesses don’t. Even with the need to generate positive cash flow and a profit, way too many businesses are poorly run. And, even though they have a merit based pay process it is being abused.
The problem with primary education in the United States is the system has been overwhelmed with goals that have nothing to do with kids learning math, science, history, etc. And, too many of those goals take precedence over the foundational subjects kids are supposed to be learning.

Well articulated, my Fren.
I am seeing that it is a lot more complicate. Thanks for all the comments.
