Pay for performance

In Idaho right now, there is a lot of talk about teachers being paid for their performance. More success equals greater income. Fundamentally, I agree with this because in business, like in life, the greater the performance, the greater the pay. I don't get more money for what I do because I have been doing it for so long. I don't get more money because of some union negotiation. I get more because I work harder and smarter. So, what is the proof? I was watching TV tonight and there was a teaser for the news that is going to discuss this topic tonight. So, they want to show what the reaction of teachers is. But, that is not what the text of the teaser says.

If the news can't get the grammar right on a teaser about teachers, then we really need to look at docking the pay of teachers who don't perform and increase the pay of those that do. I know, I am opening myself up to a lot of criticism because of my poor spelling and grammar, but I don't claim to know better... fire away if you want.
