Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I'm not the OP, but I would rather my tax dollars go to those that perform better than their peers, who may just have longivity in a teacher's position, without any measurement of their performance vs. student results.Could you explain how making it easier to get rid of bad teachers will make it easier to attract more of the best and brightest to become teachers?
Nothing more than what I was measured on when I worked in the "commercial" sector. Your performance/results had an impact upon your pay, and those that were considered "less efficient" were let go, to be replaced by others that could perform/do the job at hand.
Get rid of the deadwood, and give those that wish to show their "stuff" perform in a manner in which I (as a taxpayer) am paying for.
