[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because teachers unions are against pay and job security based on performance (results). In the real world, we get fired if we don't deliver.[/quote] Um, teachers do get fired if they don't deliver. The teacher whose position I took was fired. He was put on a PIP and didn't improve and now he is gone. Now, our district has merit pay so if my students don't make a predetermined amount of progress by January when they take the annual test, that may impact my ability to get a raise. So I get 4 whole months to prepare them to take this test. I may earn highly effective on my evaluations but if my students don't "perform" to the district's satisfaction, it doesn't matter.[/quote]
