Then stop bitching about how much you make

In Nashville, a private donor fronted the money to give teachers a bonus that was tied to performance. The teachers rejected the idea.

Update: In comments, Brittney says:

They’d rather give it to the students

That would be a fine and noble endeavor. But I think the the union rep is full of it:

Marsha Warden, school board chairwoman, said that if giving money directly to the students is something the union membership wants to do, that is an idea it could broach at a later date.

And:

Merritt’s new plan was never mentioned as an option the membership wanted to explore, said Pedro Garcia, Metro schools director.

The tone of the article seems to be Oops, we got bad press. Now, let’s cover out butts. I could be wrong, of course.

    Bonuses that small (2 to 6 grand) aren’t going to motivate much of anything. It’s hard to change daily behavior on a year-long basis, and numbers that small aren’t going to make the difference. Try it. Offer somebody who works for you a 5K bonus next year if they take their job to the next level– i.e. be the great employee you fantasize about having. Even if they agree to it, they’ll almost certainly fail– either they are that person or they are not. Most people aren’t. They’ll do a little better for a month, slip back to their normal work habits and expect the bonus every year as a matter of entitlement.
