[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many teachers are incompetent, but are protected.

We need an effective merit system and competency testing to  get rid of the bad teachers.[/quote]

The professions that I can think of that have the harshest weed out periods early career are also the best paid. Are you willing to pay teachers like Goldman Sachs pays its associates? Should a middle school teacher who has made it through your testing be paid like lawyer who has made it through to partner?[/quote]

Goldman Sach’s HR strategies doesn’t solve DC school problems. PP was correct. Poor teachers should be weeded out. Similarly, toxic parents should be managed such that they can’t derail classes. The administration should focus on hiring and retaining good teachers and working with collaborative, invested parents. That’s the only way to make progress for these kids, whose futures should be what’s at stake[/quote]

And replaced with what? Places that weed out can do so because the pay enough to hire far more people than they can retain 7 years down the line. Everyone involved knows it, but the pay makes the risk worthwhile. [/quote]

Replaced with good teachers. Good teachers should be paid enough to attract and retain them[/quote]
