"Obama’s Race to the Top initiative — which pit states against each other in competing for federal funds in exchange for implementing specific school reforms — linked student test scores to teacher evaluations and pay."
.......and it lead directly to corruption. Adding individual monetary reward/punishment did little more than facilitate greed and intrigue. Human nature.
It's a similar situation as the incentive plan where I work; It has been a failure. A handful are actually rewarded for individual performance, some are rewarded for dubious reasons that have nothing at all to do with actual performance. The rest see this corruption and their morale and attitude plummet. Human nature again.
Efficiency decreases in this environment. IT DOES NOT WORK.
I've seen it time and again.
