(Newser) – Teachers union members are fuming over President Obama's desire to stay the course and evaluate educators based on student test scores, McClatchy reports. Obama is even threatening to withhold California stimulus money unless the state enshrines the student-teacher performance link into law. "It takes... Read full story »

Give Obama Some Credit for Education Reform Push

The president is taking political risks for the right reasons

(NEWSER) - President Obama ought to be applauded for pushing eduction reform, despite political risks. Obama's agenda is based on two ideas: That failing schools should face consequences and that teachers and principals ought to be evaluated based on student results. Each principle could benefit the system, writes Michael Gerson for the Washington Post . But both are politically dangerous. More»

No Child Left Behind Waiver Granted to 10 States

At least 28 more plan to seek one

(NEWSER) - Ten of the first 11 states to apply for a waiver from the controversial No Child Left Behind law will be freed from the law's requirements by President Obama today, the AP reports. Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Tennessee received the waivers; New Mexico's application was not approved, but it is working with the White House to get the OK.

What If NFL Players Were Paid Like Teachers?

The league would suffer, just like our education system: Fran Tarkenton

(NEWSER) - Imagine if every NFL player's salary was based on how long he had played, and if players who made it through three seasons could almost never be fired. "It's about tenure, not talent" in this alternate reality, writes NFL Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton in the Wall Street Journal . And the results are not hard to imagine: "The on-field product would steadily decline." And while more money could be spent on better stadiums and technology, but that would have no impact on performance. Of course, Tarkenton's alternate reality "is the real-life American public education system," he writes. More»

It's Time to Give Teachers a Fat Raise

Teachers should be praised, not vilified

(NEWSER) - Right-wing propaganda aside, America's teachers are underpaid and need to make more if the United States is to compete internationally, writes Nicholas Kristof at the New York Times . "We should be elevating teachers, not throwing darts at them," he says. In 1970, a starting public school teacher earned just $2,000 less than a starting lawyer at a good law firm—today, that gap is more like $115,000, according to a study by McKinsey (notably, a firm comprised of highly paid people who are not teachers). Citing another study, Kristof says that good teachers make a real economic impact on society—kindergarten teachers in the top 15% of their profession can add $400,000 to the lifetime earnings of a class of 20, while teachers in the top 7% add $640,000.
