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.

Job security creates lazy people. Lazy people do shitty jobs. Hence, the only answer remains putting these people in job jeopardy. We should all have to handle the fear of the ax. How else are people going to hone their talents? I think if you set up a system where some of the teachers could get paid serious cash, and mangement was encouraged to run a tight, economical ship, you'd see some wonderful teachers. And very happy ones. What could be better? Certainly, its better than this socialist lockstep system that encourages those who come into the system giving a shit and trying to do a good job into phoning it in after a few years.
You can't get peak performance out of anyone who hasn't got an incentive. How many firms have people on this boatrd fucked over because they knew exactly where they could stop and still get the max bonus?
