Teachers for CEO Merit Pay

[Tsukasa Buddha]

As President Obama stressed in his March 10 speech on education reform, “I reject a system that rewards failure and protects a person from its consequences. The stakes are too high.”
Inspired by this system-rejecting appeal, Teachers for CEO Merit Pay advocates this: when corporate executives repay the trillions of dollars their institutions have received from publicly financed bank bailouts; when they withdraw all mercenary forces and private contractors from the Middle East; when they relinquish control of health care and champion a single-payer plan that provides free coverage for everyone in the United States; when they discontinue exploiting tax loopholes and offshore havens, which have depleted state revenues and caused an education funding crisis, then they will be eligible to receive appropriate pay raises.
The need for a rigid merit pay system with strict accountability for CEOs stems from the nature of their position, which leads them to dedicate their lives to shortsighted goals focused on enriching themselves—regardless of the impact on the broader society.

If Obama says a salary cap of $500,000 is good enough for the CEOs, it's good enough for me too! Bring on merit pay. I GUARANTEE you there will never be a failing student in America again. Everyone gets 100 on every test.

As opposed to politicians, who never canceled a program they didn't like, or that didn't work, or even tested it, or even did a cost-benefit analysis, or even did a simple study to see if it actually helped vs. measurable statistics, as opposed to relying on glowing testimony from people who get paid in one way or another, a generally accepted scientific principle around here.

He should have stopped there. But he continues with almost parliamentary-style coalition building by heaving out things that have nothing to do with teacher merit pay:

when they withdraw all mercenary forces and private contractors from the Middle East; when they relinquish control of health care and champion a single-payer plan that provides free coverage for everyone in the United States; when they discontinue exploiting tax loopholes and offshore havens, which have depleted state revenues and caused an education funding crisis, then they will be eligible to receive appropriate pay raises.

Hyperventilating about someone else's issues as if you're all one big happy, related family, well, say high to your meme daddy whom you serve without even realizing it. You wouldn't do too well as a candidate for Kwisatz Haderach, especially the tests to decide if you're truly human or just a trainable animal.

What the heck does this have to do with either CEO salaries or merit pay for teachers? In fact, what the heck does this even mean? And yes, I've read Dune.
