If teachers cite long hours, they are lying.

Kind of makes you wonder how truthful their harder to verify claims are.

Here in DC, hitting the right numbers gets a bonus which is close to 50% of your salary – or nothing if you're slightly low...

You've found a bad bonus structure. Making the bonus linear in value-add would solve this problem. Again - not a problem with testing at all.

Or maybe it's not such a bad bonus structure - I'm told that cliffs are a great way to motivate salespeople. I guess salespeople are better at managing their emotions than teachers?
