HEY You are on my soapbox. Another problem with merit pay is the principal. Suck up or don't get that extra money. People don't understand kids sleeping on the floor so they don't get shot by a drive by when they sleep. Ask these kids to do their best at school while they are tired and hungry.

And as for pay - no one would have any career without a teacher teaching them to read and write. Yet we are disrespected and underpaid.

You are new at this. I have been a teacher since 1975. I can't wait till I retire. If I can afford it - June 2015!!

I agree. If I could vote for a raise for teachers pay to 100,000$ a year, I would do so and not even think twice. :
