This is the sixty-third installment of the Salem-News.com original series "Nota Bene by Leonardo" by Salem cartoonist Glen Bledsoe.
(Earth-Prime?) - Coaches whose jobs depend on their team having a winning season select which players make the team. With increasing pressures to link teacher pay with their students' test scores teachers might justly demand the same process. Can we insist that teachers take every child, no matter their background, and base the teacher's pay on the resulting test scores? The public at large doesn't understand the nature of our schools' populations, nor what many of the young are up against. Read on and experience the frustration of a teacher who is unable to pay his creditors because of society's ills.
