I like the principles that E-Comp is based on. Pay should be linked to performance. Also, it is very important to stop social promotion. Social promotion tells kids that it doesn't matter how well they perform, that they will be promoted on and on. Teacher performance pay should work if administered properly. I think it will be possible to reward teachers in schools were the students are currently poor performers, since if they learn more and score higher then that would demonstrate improved performance.

In this area public education needs to go back to what it was years ago when a HS diploma meant something.

Now, what is going to be done about enforcing discipline among students. How do you punish trouble-making kids that distract others from learning?
