Merit Pay Mess

Merit Pay Mess - Join the Future

I got told my one of my relatives that's a school that runs off of merit pay doesn't work. They said that there's way too many factors to count in to be able to have a good merit based system. Like the economic level of the school, class size, how they judge you (by student scores, job performance or one shot evaluation), who's filling it out and how they feel about you. And for police and firefighters, how do you do merit pay for them? They save lives and protect us every day.

I know that you get a bad worker in every bunch (I've had my share of bad professors), but I think that there's too many things to count in to be able to make something like this fair. They need a better system of weeding the bad people out.
