This one is generating some interesting dialogue with my Republican (GASP!!!!!), running for office in SF (GASP, GASP!!!!!) boyfriend(?)
He likes your column.
And I do too … except I wonder how the principal who just interviewed me for a journalism job would react at bonus time when my students wrote stories that didn’t conform to her demands — MUST NOT SHOW SCHOOL IN NEGATIVE LIGHT!!!!
I could be the world’s greatest journalism teacher helping my students become solid investigative reporters, but I’d not win one dollar in merit pay, would I?
Still, I am certainly open to the idea of differentiated pay beyond the ridiculous step system.
