I didn't know until I read this article that a teachers salary was tied to performance scores. This is a such a bad idea. In the past, what were salaries (or increases) based on?

Every school district has a base salary but some districts, especially larger school districts have "incentives" if the school meets targeted test scores, improve test scores, attendance, dropout rate, etc. etc.
Let me go back, I had time to think and stuff.
Teacher education programs do not necessarily prepare future teachers for all that they can and will possibly encounter as teachers.
All white teachers should be exposed to all Black or predominantly Black schools in their teacher education experiences. The same should happen with Black teachers and White students. IMO, Black folks are more able to adapt to majority WHITE situations than WHITES are with BLACKS. This is not a racist or prejudiced statement, this is the truth.
There are a lot of parameters that the educational field contains. It is harder than the most difficult QUADRATIC equation.
We need to get back to basics. We have all this STUFF yet kids leave school with less ability than a generation ago.
