California Governor Arnie flexes his muscles on education reform and at the top of his list, he calls for merit pay for teachers. Why? Because that's what makes sense after the results of a landmark study by Stanford University., He calls for other changes too. Like many in Missouri, he would like to see greater empowerment of schools to control where they are spending their money:
"Meanwhile, giving local school districts more control over finances is a popular idea strongly endorsed by the Stanford researchers in their analysis of the school system last spring."
Hurray! If California does it, then maybe we can finally see some change in Missouri too~afterall, we cannot possible make ANY changes until we see that everyone else on the coasts have done it too... Clearly, given that Missouri lags so drematically behind the rest of the country in offering educational options, and since we don't seem to want to be the LEADERS WE COULD BE...well, good luck Arnie! I'll be back to see the results!
