Did you ever wonder how good workers in the private sector continually get raises if bosses only want the lowest salaried workers? (In the private sector we call them bosses, not principles, and some of them are also big meanies.)

Instead of letting the mediocre and incompetent teachers block merit pay, let schools offer higher salaries to attract and reward great teachers, just like is done in the private sector. Unlike the union's philosophy that all teachers are commodities of equal value, the private sector knows that a good worker is worth much more than a mediocre one.

And that works both ways. In the private sector, workers can leave unpleasant working conditions and go work at their boss’s competitors.
