[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2854366, member: 18914"] Why is the idea of merit pay, frequently used in many industries, and some government activities, always presented as outrageous in the context of schools? I am certain their would be growing pains and protests but to make it seem like chasing the Holy Grail seems a bit overblown. I am no education expert but can imagine a number of ways to implement merit pay or you could also keep pay stable and simply make retention contingent upon merit criteria. Successful passing rate for students, peer reviews, student and/or parent reviews. Right now the only thing I have seen consistently used as a "merit" system is continuing education for teacher (formal degree producing education) - rarely in a subject that is taught usually for "education" courses of dubious benefit to the student.
