So, teachers may get $1600 bonus to improve student grades. The bonus is easy to obtain, the teachers only need to make every test easy enough for every student to pass.

How about we let future employers create the tests instead of the teachers?

When do we give the students a bonus for learning a lot of useless or unneccesery information to make the teacher ring up their bonuses?

Bitter, party of two, your table is available...Bitter, party of two.

Man, you two can't see a silver lining in anything, can you? You would probably complain if you won the lottery and they didn't pay you with brand new bills.

The test is only one component of the criteria necessary to earn the bonus. The test is from NWEA. It is NOT written by the teachers. It is written and graded by an outside party that can give an impartial evaluation.

Now, take off the tin foil hats, turn off Fox news, and go outside and get some fresh air. Look at the world from a sunnier perspective.
