...The One-Minute Pundit

We wonder if merit pay can't become another panacea. How will teachers be graded? On test results. And because testing is the end-all and be-all of Dubya's Every Child a Dilbert Act the results are as likely to be just as distorted. Can good teachers really be ranked by how many kids they've taught the test? Merit pay is better than nothing, but we'd guess in practice it won't be very much better.
