>I did. The NCLB Act has precisely ZERO monetary incentives for teachers

They had negative monetary incentives for teachers and schools

>It was obviously written and enacted by people who have no idea how incentives actually work.

It was written by people who don't believe in public education. It's the literal concept you are pushing whether you recognize that or not.



> They had negative monetary incentives for teachers and schools

Please provide a reference for negative monetary incentives for teachers.

> It's the literal concept you are pushing

What I'm "pushing" is aligning incentives with the desired results. A system that works every time it's tried.

Besides, if the public schools try my proposal, in no instance will the teachers or schools be worse off. There's literally nothing to lose by trying it.


>Please provide a reference for negative monetary incentives for teachers.

Again, if you are interested, you should learn, literally, the basic of the subject on which you are speaking

https://www.nber.org/digest/feb15/impact-school-performance-...

You are at this point "debating" the foundation of NCLB, of which it doesn't seem like you know anything about.
