I agree with Spanky. They should make teachers accountable on a bonus system. A good teacher ought to be paid a shitload; the sort who hide in the job to get maximum benefits without stress should be fired. I can think no person more appalling than one who'd waste children's formative years phoning in a job because he's too fucking lazy, gutless and creative to make it in the private sector.
Everybopdy, in every job, should be reviewed yearly and compensated based on production. Why any sector of our society - govt or private - escapes that necessary weeding process is beyond me. How the hell else shall we evolve? I have to fight for money every day. Make the goddamned state employees and teachers do the same. If they can't make it, good. More money for everyone who can.

How do you work around the fact that someone has to teach the kids who get no support from home and who may not want to learn? I can flee my company like a rat from a sinking ship if it seems like it's sinking, and that's all part of the market -- companies should be allowed to fail.* But it seems like we have a social value that says that all kids have to be provided with education up to a certain point. Do we want the crappiest, most unmotivated teachers teaching those kids?
*bwahahahahahaha.
