Offering big bonuses to teachers failed to raise students’ test scores in a three-year study released yesterday that calls into question the Obama administration’s push for merit pay to improve education. Education - Merit pay - Standardized test - United States - Teacher
Senh: Teachers who are committed and enthusiastic about teaching will continue to do what they're doing and be rewarded; and those who just babysit will continue to do the same. I wonder if we're asking too much of teachers. There are probably those who just think of it as a 9-5 job. And we aren't asking more from 9-5ers in the work force. There are always a small percentage who cares, and the rest just go through the motions.
