North Jersey gives the NJEA’s boiler-plate response to Obama’s call for performance-based pay for teachers:
Steve Baker, a spokesman for the New Jersey Education Association, said the union would want to see details but generally opposes merit programs that are tied to standardized test scores or competition for a limited amount of funding.
“Anything that puts teachers in competition with each other … [is] problematic. It takes away from the cooperative effort you like to see in a classroom,” he said.
Let’s see…teachers are professionals, and should be paid like professionals. But we can’t adjust pay to performance, like professionals. Maybe the NJEA needs some remediation courses in logic.
