(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?
