Sounds simple enough, huh? The DC Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee is asking that good teachers be eligible to receive up to $100,000 a year and bad teachers, “regardless of tenure,” be subject to removal.
Common sense stuff in most sectors of the economy. Sadly, a novel concept in our public schools. Cheers to the Chancellor for proposing this policy; hopefully it will be approved and implemented.
