Scott Walker Kicked Unions Out of Wisconsin Schools

Ant they're thriving! Imagine that.

As the report put it, “This compensation plan lacked the proper incentives to improve teaching. So, it should be of no surprise that many superintendents threw out the old, union-forced ‘steps and ladders’ compensation scheme in favor of one that rewards performance in the classroom.”

One example is the Oak Creek-Franklin School District, where building principals evaluate teachers on “instructional effectiveness, professionalism, and leadership. This has the effect of increasing the pay for the highest performing teachers from $78,059 to $88,304,” the report said.

With Fewer Members, a Diminished Political Role for Wisconsin Unions


The drop is most pronounced in the public sector: More than half of Wisconsin’s public workers were in unions before Mr. Walker’s cuts took effect. A little more than a quarter of them remain.

Yes...but what isn't being told is the number of referendums that are being passed, increasing taxes much higher than the tax cuts, just for schools to stay afloat. Any citizen with half a brain votes for these referendums. Merit pay occurs in very few districts that I know of.

Why in God's name have we developed a pay system for teachers that favors job security over performance? This is something our enemies would wish on us.
