Description
THE CONTINUING CRISIS in public education also sees a continuing pattern of reform proffered by minds bent on solving what are now decidedly fixed problems. There is no end to strategies for remedying educational ills and improving students' academic performances. One plan being advanced is that of offering teachers salary incentives tied to performance-based pay. Bonuses and other rewards would also be given to teachers who qualify, the amount to be decided by a committee of administrators and other teachers. Not surprisingly teachers of language and literature tend to be overlooked, which reflects a mischievous attitude towards the discipline of English studies on the part of educational reformers. At a time when students read less and write poorly, this attitude points to some of the deeper reasons why educational troubles are unceasing. That the language of instruction itself is being challenged or compromised in order to accommodate the rising number of non-English speaking students further depletes the instructional process of what is being taught, how it is conveyed, and what standards are to be met. In short, respect for a common standard of language and achievement is something that is being disregarded by the authorities who contend that material correctives can put an end to educational troubles.
