" ...It's an unfair pay increase policy based on the location of where they teach.."
This is the red herring argument that always stalls education reform. The solution is easy. On day one of the school year, you test the class. On the final day of the school year, you test them again. Hell, use the same effing test if you want. A good teacher's classroom will show overall improvement. Her kids are not being pitted against those in more affluent areas, just against themselves. And she (it's 5 to 1 females, which is another part of the problem) is being evaluated against herself. Seems fair to me.
