Who could be against 65%?

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.

Surely no one is against this in principle, except possibly the teachers unions. But how do you make it work? And, as a practical matter, don't you think that the reason teachers unions have been able to bargain for insulation from accountability is that when the negotiations come around, the school districts often lack money and have to give up something else? Let's face it -- one of the reasons to work for an employer that pays less is that you get something else out of the deal, like job security.
