- gnicholas 2y agoSo is it a bad idea to have metrics for promotion and pay in other industries, where they are very common? The unique aspect about teaching is that the people who could evaluate them subjectively are children, and we wouldn’t want to put too much weight on their opinions. Seems like there should be some objective measures, instead of just throwing up our hands and paying based on seniority (which creates other bad incentives).
