With all due respect to Dr. Sam Houston (CEO of The North Carolina Science, Mathematics, and Technology Education Center) and his distinguished education resume, he hasn't worked as a classroom teacher in 40+ years and it shows. 
Dr. Houston's cringeworthy comment effectively illustrates the problem with having no currently practicing traditional classroom teachers at the table when policy that will most directly impact classroom teachers is being developed.
The decision making is completely disconnected from the realities of those who are doing the work.
And let's be real--that's by design.

It's obvious why they don't want us at the table. Merit pay is a terrible idea which hasn't worked anywhere else and won't work here either. Educators just want to be treated fairly and paid at a level commensurate with our expertise and workload. Pathways to Exodus ain't it.
