re: #111 Decatur Deb

Wiki sheds light on their attitude towards teachers:

“…Education

The Heartland Institute supports the availability of charter schools, providing education tax credits to attend private schools, expanding federal vouchers for low-income students to attend a public or private school of their family’s choosing, and the Parent Trigger reform that started in California. The Heartland Institute argues that market reforms should be introduced into the public education system to increase competition and provide more options and greater choice for parents and their children.[23]”

Nothing wrong with any of that. Reward the productive, retrain those who need help but are competent, and fire the deadwood. Doing that is key to improving an organization. It’s rough on the deadwood, but it works well.
