If you need further explanation, the author of the article linked to above is available to consult your group or organization. Send an email to ZumaDogg@Gmail.com or call the number on the top of this blog to set up a phone consultation. (But only if you care about kids and the future of this city...cause if you are going down the "merit pay" route, you are on the wrong path.)
SUNDAY 4PM UPDATE: Here are some more specific reasons why merit pay is bad, besides just saying it's bad. Again, more if you read article linked to above. But here is what comes out if it.
- There is MORE than a HUGE difference between teaching a class to educate students properly (whatever that is), & teaching to get merit pay.
- QUICKEST way to punish good teachers taking pride & joy in their job is to ruin it w merit pay. GOAL BECOMES TO ACHIEVE SCORE ON MERIT TEST.
- Talk about a situation where you will have the rest of the pack trying to pull another teacher/class down, just reward someone w merit pay.
- What do you think would happen to rock band if lead singer was suddenly paid more than the guitarist/songwriter, cause singer gets on cover? (Either lead singer becomes impossible to deal with, or leaves the band and rest of band is demoralized.)
- OOPS, the teacher we skipped over for merit pay, really WAS doing a good job. But is now leaving the system cause upset over no merit pay.
- OOPS, the teacher we just rewarded is BACK DOWN in results this year? WHAT HAPPENED? NO MERIT PAY! (NOW dejected over shaky methodology.)
- HOW DIVISIVE MERIT PAY IS: ALRIGHT! I get merit pay. Better not help new teachers who can benefit by my experience. Their low-end helps ME!
- HOW UNFAIR TO KIDS W TEACHERS WHO DON'T GET MERIT PAY: Well, I didn't get merit pay and see I NEVER will. Time to kick the heels up on desk.
- You are always going to have a top, middle & bottom end in ANY RANKING of teachers. If they are bad at teaching, is merit pay going to help?
- PLEASE EXPLAIN: Why would you offer a teacher extra money to do a better job? Are they holding back, on purpose, waiting for merit pay?
- Only criteria LAUSD merit pay should be upon is which teacher helped STUDENTS IN OTHER CLASSES MOST. But, THAT doesn't happen w merit pay.
- 1 THING FOR SURE regarding LAUSD. Time to change the batter on AJ Duffy. What makes you think he can do a thing? Was he NOT trying, before?
- LA TIMES on LAUSD: Sad for teachers listed in database. SERIOUSLY! Methodology is SO flawed, but blog space to explain limited to infinity.
9PM UNRELATED NOTE (but didn't want to create entire thread.) Lisa Hernandez "had the day off" of her Sunday morning ABC 7 co-anchor duties, leaving that dude to read all the stories.
DO NOT EVER GIVE HER THE DAY OFF...I DON'T CARE WHAT THE REASON! THEN, to make matters WORSE, I couldn't find a good head shot of her to stare at on the internet to fill the void, so I snapped THIS pic off a YouTube video...
BUT here's the way it looks to Zuma Dogg, in his mind, when she's talking:
I've met a lot of the news anchors and reporters from all the different stations. I feel sorry for Lisa that she hasn't met me, yet. But she IS only weekends. I gotta draw the line, SOMEWHERE!
