Enact merit based pay within public teaching.

What metrics would be used to justify wage increases beyond cost of living adjustments?

They’d just need to be performance based metrics not based on tenure or whether one has a master’s degree. Is their no way to determine how well a teacher is doing by trying to gauge or determine what level of learning was attained by students based on test scores and other indicators of increased proficiency, . If a teacher puts together a great impactful lesson plan that results in increased engagement, maybe, or increased production of students with respect to their work in a class.

Do you not think it’s able to be determined whether a teacher failed or helped their students?

I may not work in education but I know enough to know that teacher unions are some of the most egregiously functioning bodies of people I’ve ever seen, especially in the way that they manage and allocate their funds.

You can’t determine a person’s merit based on another person’s work/results. If a kid doesn’t care about school/learning, no teacher will be able to make them learn.
