I feel that that the teachers shouldn't get merit pay. Merit pay is basically the teacher getting paid on how well the students try. That would not be fair to the teachers who have students who don't try or even care. According to the article "The Cutting Edge" merit pay could be given to people who are more favored by the students, which will allow the student to try to do better to help the teachers pay. Some teachers also get students who really don't want to be at school, so they really don't attempt to do anything. In school a lot of students including honor students don't seem to try on test or have stress problems.Test are not really taken serious so not many teachers would get paid a lot.
A good topic to write a blog about would be the dress code and how the students feel about it. Also on the punishment for breaking the rules of the dress code.
I agree. Teachers should not have to get merit pay. Normally students don't pay that much attention to standardized tests. They don't know how it affects their teachers pay. It's not fiar to teachers who try their hardest everyday. I also like your new topic!!!!!
