I already get merit pay from the state for compleating a paper based on my work with students. I submitted an even longer paper for more merit pay from a national organization. Merit pay systems exist. I would love to see money spent on new buildings and bigger classrooms with fewer students in each. My school is 50 years old and we can't update it fast enough. Everyone in my school needs new furniture: new desks, new chairs, new bookcases and more electrical outlets. The lockers are rusty, the windows leak and so does the roof. Infrastructure is the key. My school is full of wonderful teachers and good support staff. No one wants to talk about the lives my students lead outside of school, but that is another discussion.
