Liam went after Michelle Rhee's pay-for-performance plan (the one for the kids, not the teachers) in Sunday's Washington Post.
Evidence shows that when people are paid to complete certain tasks, they derive less enjoyment and satisfaction from them. Barry Schwartz, a psychology professor at Swarthmore College, wrote last year in the New York Times that paying pupils for their good schoolwork may render them even less interested in it than they already are.
OK, Liam, no more 50 bucks per blog post for you.
Update: This post was originally and erroneously attributed to Liam Julian, who,??stuffy though he undoubtedly is, doesn't refer to himself in the third person.
