$100K Teachers? Unions Are Standing In the Way

$100K Teachers? Unions Are Standing In the Way [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
Charles Owens, state director of the National Federation of Independent Business, said there are teachers in public schools worth $100,000 or more.
"But the current school system doesn't reward that kind of achievement," Owens said.
"It rewards bureaucracy and sloth and tenure. … 
We won't measure performance.
We won't measure standards.
We just think they should make $100,000 a year because it is the right thing to do.
It will attract people.
No doubt about that.
And given the current structure of public education where pay is how long you stick around and not performance, I think it would get a lot of people — I wouldn't be so sure about the qualified part."
