Reply #22: We should test, but not base funding or teachers salary on the results

[Taitertots]

I have yet to find someone who can explain to me how decreasing funding or teacher pay is going to do anything but hurt already failing schools.

This is just a club to beat the poor. They already have lower test scores due to the circumstances outside their control or the teacher's control. This will ONLY make sure the rich continue to have the best teachers while the poor are bemoaned for stuff they have no control over.
