In Our Schools - Pay for performance? NOT!
Education vs. the Unions...
It's the second item posted here at Washington State's DailyNewsOnline:
"Thumbs down: That $13.2 million grant Washington state won last year to enhance the teaching of Advanced Placement courses in math and science is history. It’s lost because of the financial incentives it would have provided for teachers who improve test scores. The Washington Education Association didn’t much like the idea of tying teacher pay to student performance on exams. Neither did the teachers union like the involvement of an outside party, the grant provider, in teacher-pay decisions."
