(np) merit pay

[Michael Bailey]

but anyway

a) merit pay for teachers - there are ways to implement this that wouldn't suck,

like leave the base where it is and then let local stakeholders
(school board, union, admin, PTA...)
thrash out how to award the _additional_ pay


B) pay the kids.  This strikes me as a really frickin good idea.
which the world may soon be ready for!  you saw it here first!


what would Pynchon think of all this?
