Can you name even one person who has been arguing that?
- rdl 14y agoI think he means anyone arguing for more money without also wanting metrics. I think there are a lot of people against metrics, for two main reasons: they distrust the metrics for accuracy (or think they measure the wrongs things), or personal fear of change. A bottom-30-percent teacher probably knows he or she is in the bottom half, at least, and is rightly afraid of metrics.
