Grinchlike union bosses are blocking at least 200 of Boston’s best teachers from pocketing bonuses for their classroom heroics in a puzzling move that gets a failing grade from education experts.
The Boston Teachers Union staunchly opposes a performance bonus plan for top teachers - launched at the John D. O’Bryant School in 2008 and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates and Exxon Mobil foundations - insisting the dough be divvied up among all of a school’s teachers, good and bad

I get it. Unions do not want their members singled out. They are only interested in protecting and promoting the lowest common denominator.

Typical.

thing is... its money from someone for a specific purpose. Dont want the money, dont take it.. but DO NOT say we will take the money and do whatever we want.

They can staunchly oppose all they want imho, but it doesn't mean that Gates can't do what he pleases with his money.

I don't think that the Boston Teachers union would be unlike our local unions. There has always been a fight against any type of performance measurement for teachers. Its based on subjective rather than objective criteria.

For example, teachers are paid on the basis on their qualifications. Someone with 2 degrees earns more for teaching grade 1 than the person with 1 degree teaching grade 12 Pre-Calculus and coaching the high school hockey team.
