Great job and commentary on
California education ["Math
lesson,"
Commentary, March 15]. You said what many have thought when just
"looking" at the dollars, and scores; they do not add up to more
money. A similar comparison of teachers' pay to performance is
timely; that also will not add up to more money yields greater
value. Finally, this all begs for a comparison of school districts'
superintendents' pay to performance. Someday public education may
adopt ROI analysis in its budgeting process, if not, keep pumping
out commentaries such as yours. This info helps us when schools are
asking for our votes in support of their measures.
