Merit Pay

If you have an account on Facebook, you might want to join this group.

Our governor, in his infinite wisdom, wants to tie our pay to the accomplishments of our students. I can see a mad rush to teach higher ability students and a rush away from teaching the lower level kids.

Of all of the things he has done to sabotage Georgia's schools, this is the worst idea yet.

Harvard has an interesting take on this. As does the AJC,which ties this, NCLB, and the recent testing scandal together nicely.
