Well, in terms of poorer schools, it seems to be paying off pretty well - to the tune of a huge increase in scores (http://www.nypost.com/seven/06082009/news/regionalnews/learn__earn_plan_pays_off_173099.htm).
Thoughts? Personally, I'm a bigger fan of creating high expectations (http://thedefendersonline.com/2009/05/22/kipp-the-power-of-high-expectations/) and encouraging a learning-oriented environment and mindset (http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=the-secret-to-raising-smart-kids).
But, results are results, and getting paid for performance is what almost all jobs are about (academic administration notwithstanding). Is there really anything wrong with this, other than us feeling a little odd about it?
