Obama, taking on unions, backs teacher merit pay
What’s the scam here?
As much as I despise unions and especially the Teacher’s Union for the stranglehold they have on local, state, and national politics and in as much as I am totally FOR teacher merit pay, I’m NOT sure I’m for Obama or any political party determining teacher merit. What is politically correct could be the determiner for “merit” under left-wing governments and faith issues could be the determiner for “merit” under
right-wing governments. I would want to take this issue very slowly and have “merit” identified by measurable, quantifiable student success.
