Interesting responses to my post about getting a SMALL amount ($5-$10) gift card for each of your child’s teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. It’s not a tip. It’s not an obligation. And no it’s isn’t the same as gifting a doctor or dentists. Teachers help raise your child whether you think that or not. And stop with the money thing because in my 35 years I’ve seen more generous gifts given to teachers in poor schools than wealthy ones. But the negative attitudes toward taking a week to appreciate teachers is really sad.

NEW: Vivek Ramaswamy just dropped a game-changing idea for public education: merit-based pay for public school teachers. “Pay for performance. That’s what businesses do. There’s no reason we shouldn’t be running our public schools in the same way.” Vivek announced that he plans for Ohio to become the first state in the nation to adopt merit-based pay for every teacher, principal, and administrator. He says that performance reviews should go beyond standardized testing, incorporating peer reviews, parent feedback, and student outcomes—with a clear goal of rewarding the best educators. “The best teachers in the country right now, sadly, are underpaid. We need to fix that—but fix it through meritocracy,” Vivek said. “Thanks to President Trump’s bold actions today, we can lead the way.”
