Please provide a reference for negative monetary incentives for teachers.

> It's the literal concept you are pushing

What I'm "pushing" is aligning incentives with the desired results. A system that works every time it's tried.

Besides, if the public schools try my proposal, in no instance will the teachers or schools be worse off. There's literally nothing to lose by trying it.

You are at this point "debating" the foundation of NCLB, of which it doesn't seem like you know anything about.
