I live in a city that passed a multi-million dollar bond initiative for the schools. Part of the funds where to be used for a weight room for the football team at one of the highschools, a swiming facility for the district swim teamsm and for a performing arts program. A year after the initiative passed, the district complained that the libray books to student ratio was among the lowest in the state.

Why don't teachers support pay for performance? Why can't school systems get rid of bad teachers, teacher just going through the motions?
