[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think we should offer a higher starting salary. What we need is the potential to get a great salary if you excel. Almost EVERY type of job rewards based on merit. There is no reason why we can't do that with teachers. You have a formula...I'm pulling this out of the air, but

5 % test scores
10% teacher ratings
10% student ratings
10% principal observations and interactions with teacher
20% score on competency tests in your area of teaching. Are you truly smarter than a 4th grader? Great, take a test on all the areas 4th graders must master. If you are a math teacher, you take math tests.
10% senior colleague observations of your teacher
10% special education teachers rating you on how well you manage to create an inclusive environment
5% how often you volunteer to take on extra
5% former student and parent ratings of your teaching

and so forth....you get the point.[b] Sure politics may affect some aspects, [/b]but it's not as black and white as some people make it out to be. You can find a way to merit pay and give bonuses.[/quote]

HAHAHA. To your whole post but especially the bolded. Clearly you've never been involved in education. [/quote]
