I do not have (much) experience teaching, but I do have experience being a student. Most of my teachers in high school stopped caring long before I got there. My freshman year, I played cards in 4 out of 6 classes everyday simply because the teachers did not care enough to create assignments or teach lessons. It seems next to impossible to remove these teachers. Since the general consensus of this site is that incentives will not work - what will?
I am now a graduate student considering doing research on performance based incentives. If anyone would like to share their experience working in a district with incentives, I'd love to hear about it.
