The Folly of Merit Pay on 2009-05-16
- Merit pay based on rankings is about
  victory, not about excellence.
- Pay-for-performance is an
  outgrowth of behaviorism, which is focused on individual organisms, not
  systems—and, true to its name, looks only at behaviors, not at reasons and
  motives and the people who have them.

- - The more that
    people are rewarded, the more they tend to lose interest in whatever they
    had to do to get the reward. If bonuses and the like can "motivate" some
    educators, it's only in an extrinsic sense, and often at the cost of
    undermining their passion for teaching.
  - That study didn't even take account of how resentful and demoralized
    people may become when they don't get the bonus they're expecting.
  - t's an illusion to think we can
    specify and quantify all the components of good teaching and learning,
    much less establish criteria for receiving a bonus that will eliminate the
    perception of arbitrariness.
  - After merit-pay plans take
    effect, administrators often visit classrooms more to judge teachers than
    to offer them feedback for the purpose of improvement.
  - Moreover, merit pay based on
    those scores is not only unfair but damaging, if it accelerates the exodus
    of teachers from troubled schools where they're most needed.

Students as 'Free Agent Learners' : April 2009 : THE Journal on 2009-04-29
- Students themselves reported that school can make it easier for them to work electronically by letting them use their own laptops, cell phones, or other mobile devices; providing them with unlimited Internet access; and allowing them to access school projects from anywhere.
