I...I find this far more than just performance pay.<br /><br />I am all for performance pay, but this new program means that high performing teachers are having to do extra work for their money and are sharing their methods for success with other teachers. <br />Brendan Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13538841202231589012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-81119695029547895872014-01-24T11:14:05.124+13:002014-01-24T11:14:05.124+13:00It's a massive sop to the teacher unions - all...It's a massive sop to the teacher unions - all of whom are ecstatic at all the extra money they'll be getting from more union fees. An extra billion dollars and <b>not one more teacher in front of a class</b>. Not one - just an extra billion split between then NZEI, PPTA & Principals' unions.<br /><br />I guess Hekia just decided completely surrendering to the teacher unions was easier than any real reforms in an election year. The result is yet<br />another of Key's policies that is so far left that even Helen didn't have the guts to bring it in.<br /><br />When you think about even the most obvious alternatives - bulk funding schools & ending the Novopay debacle - or actual right wing solutions - just privatising every state school - this is pathetic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
