re: #373 alexknyc

I work with a Learning Disabled population. I take borderline kids and get as many as I can through the Regents Exam to get a high school diploma. I get roughly 80% of them through with an average grade around 75.

Another teacher I work with gets the class with the 120-150 IQs. He has a 100% passing rate and an average score in the 90s.

Incentives and merit pay would reward him, not me. His pass rate is higher and his average score is much better. Why would I want to continue working with the LD population if there are incentives and merit pay in the balance?

uhhh you are familiar with marking on a curve? no?
