going to vote for Obama anyway, and this just solidifies my opposition to his candidacy. He supports a "merit pay" system of paying teachers similar to what is being done in Minnesota.
"Merit pay" is a right-wing crock of shit. You cannot run schools like businesses, for kids are going to vary in ability year after year. Besides, so much that affects kids happens outside of the school day. Teachers have no control over this.
Not to mention "merit" cannot be defined.
"Merit pay" is just another idea to destroy teachers unions and subvert the civil service system.
Obama is a tool.
