A study concludes declines in student performance stem from flaws in the educational process focusing on content, expectations, time, and teaching. It details a watered down general track surge, uneven course completion, minimal math and science exposure, rising elective emphasis, reduced homework, and eroding textbook quality alongside poor time management and lack of study-skills instruction.
The commission finds inadequate attraction of academically able students to teaching, weak teacher prep, and poor professional life for teachers. It notes severe shortages in math science and languages, with many new hires unqualified to teach their subjects, and low salaries driving part time work. Recommendations follow tomorrow.
Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan says merit pay for teachers is not union busting and supports differential pay to reward performance. He aligns with Reagan and Bell and notes unions NEA and AFT weigh merit pay, while warning against politics eroding pay scales. Donovan also cites private teacher views on incentive loss and predicts strong blue collar backing for Reagan if he runs for a second term.
