A listening post monitoring public education and teachers’ unions.

While President Obama was putting the finishing touches on his education speech last week, Rep. Brian Bolduc was introducing a simple bill to the Maine Legislature. It adds a single sentence to state law, and reads:

“A salary of a teacher may not be based upon the measurable performance or productivity of the teacher or a student of the teacher.”

Rep. Bolduc is a recent graduate of the Graduate Teacher Certification Program at the University of New England in Biddeford, and his bio says he “looks forward to beginning a career in public education.”

I’ve computed the standard career path numbers and conclude Rep. Bolduc could be president of the National Education Association in the year 2047.
