I’m still thinking about the proposal Big Dope and I have for replacing the (ugh) “teach to the test” system in public schools with the Teacher Reward System. It would work like insurance commissions. We would keep track of a teacher’s students and reward that teacher with residual yearly bonuses for student success. Possible examples:
- A teacher whose student becomes a TV pundit receives a
$00.01 bonus.
- A teacher whose student becomes a Wall Street exec
receives a $00.05 bonus.
- A teacher whose student becomes an attorney receives a $10.00
bonus.
- A teacher whose student becomes a firefighter or police
officer receives a $20.00 bonus.
- A teacher whose student becomes a physician receives a $50.00
bonus.
- A teacher whose student becomes a nurse receives a $75.00
bonus.
- A teacher whose student becomes a studio musician receives
a $100.00 bonus.
- A teacher whose student becomes a writer receives a
$200.00 bonus
- A teacher whose student becomes a scientist receives a
$500.00 bonus.
- A teacher whose student becomes a librarian receives a $600.00
bonus.
- A teacher whose student becomes a teacher receives a $1,000.00
bonus.
Preachers would range from Fundamentalist (a reprimand) to
Methodist and other mainline groups: $15.00 bonus.

We are still working on professional athletes since teachers
rarely have any input into how those are moved through the educational system as youths.
Big Dope is leaning toward incarceration for a teacher who
has a student graduating while believing in so-called “creation-science.”
Personally, I am more in favor of having such teachers wear “ribbons of shame.”
Your thoughts would be welcomed.
