165 Vivek Ramaswamy just dropped a game-changing idea for public education: merit-based pay for public school teachers. “Pay for performance. That’s what businesses do. There’s no reason we shouldn’t be running our public schools in the same way.” (twitter.com) posted 9 days ago by brain_dead 9 days ago by brain_dead +168 / -3 141 comments share 141 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Came here to say this. It sounds like a great idea on paper, but dishonest teachers will always find a way to cheat - as history shows us.
A lot of teachers will put more effort into manipulating the test scores, than educating the students.
We had a teacher who's students always got near perfect test scores in 4th and fell flat on their faces on the same tests in 5th. She was giving them answers, pretty sure. All she'd say was "I teach EXCELLENT test taking skills." 🙄 riiiight
They're just going to teach the test. Like some do now.
