[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Here is an interesting article that shows what can happen when teachers are given some administrative control of a school (plus more money). But, I think the control factor is big in this. People want a voice in their workplace. http://qz.com/290912/this-is-what-happens-to-test-scores-when-you-pay-teachers-125000-a-year/[/quote] Interesting indeed, especially the high turnover rate as a result of the school firing or requesting resignation of underperforming teachers. There are many great teachers out there, but lots of mediocre and bad teachers as well. If they were paid more, perhaps we could attract a higher overall standard. This would go a long way in improving the education that children receive. Also of interest are the moderate gains in reading achievement compared to the huge gains in math. [/quote]
