Should Teachers Pay Be Linked To Student Grades

[IRescue452]

I really think factory style schools are obsolete anyway. Kids nowadays know more about technology and access to information than their teachers do. Schools have to evolve to fit this century or the problems are just going to keep rolling in.

Absolutely!! After students learn the basics they should ether go to vocational schooling or college prep schooling and the drop outs can tend counters at fast food joints/Wal Marts/Dead End Jobs. We could rebuild our work force if we stopped emphasising every runny nosed spoiled kid could be the POTUS and became realistic that some of us are better off working with our hands and some just arent suited for jobs that require any type of thinking whatsoever.

Aptitude based learning after the basics have been learned.

Who decides what the aptitudes are, and when do they do that?

What you recommend sound suspiciously like a certain system practiced
by a certain country famous more for raising a white flag than anything else.....

Ask me at 17 if I was going to be a career soldier and an electronic tech in the civilian world.

Only if they drop out.

The ASVAB and SAT tests would be a good starting point.

The Democratic Party has their own country?

At 17 I knew I wasnt going to waste my time with college so I started learning a trade.
