Senator Dan Gelber Florida Senate Bill 6

Senator Dan Gelber explains why Florida Senate Bill 6 will be so destructive for the teaching profession and will be horribly unfair to students in public schools in Florida. Senate Bill 6 is "one of the worst bills he's ever seen," and it's "the bill that has scared him the most in his past decade in legislation." He also explains how merit pay DID NOT end up benefiting teachers in low income schools in a merit pay experiment in 2007.

Passing this bill is an absolute mistake on our Florida's governments part. Doing this puts all the teachers at risk if their students do bad, they get a pay cut. It puts all the focus on the FCAT. Not that its not like that already but puts more emphasis on it and it is unnecessary. Judging a teacher by how well there students do on a messed up test is not the way to improve Floridas already low education system. Our state senate needs to rethink how there going to fix this problem.
