Thursday, September 27, 2007 Education: going the extra mile! POST A COMMENT Merit Pay for Teachers is an idea that seems reasonable: "Recognize better workers with extra pay." -- like a job bonus! A recent Newsweek article talked about a math teacher at an inner-city public school -- running a program for failing ninth graders...with an extra push, (most students passed) -- that Teacher got an extra $300 bonus tacked on to her salary and said, "It's not much but the money helps give me the incentive to go the extra mile." Seems pretty fair, since teachers are way underpaid to offer bonuses for those that deliver!
