High Stakes School District

I really enjoyed our theoretical discussion about the fictional school district the other day in class. There was one thing that i took a fairly strong opposition while reading the packet and in discussion. this issue was the idea of rewarding schools for innovative ways of teaching. I disliked this idea because, chances are, schools that are practicing innovative methods of teaching already have a fair amount of money. why should a money based reward system be implemented anyway? i believe schools that are practicing proper methods of teaching should find enough reward in the success of their students. the money ought to go to the schools struggling to perform at the rate of the others. they could use this money to implement these said innovative ways of teaching and ultimately better their students education.
