I am in favor of a merit pay system in Indiana under the right circumstances. I think that teachers are underpaid for what we do. I also feel that there are strong economic arguments that support a merit based pay system for teachers. However, I feel that such a system is nearly if not totally impossible to implement.

favorite in the Star Wars world, the actor that originally played him on screen doesn't share the same sentiments? That's right. Harrison Ford doesn't love the fact that he played the infamous smuggler in the universe. He'd rather play the adventurous Indiana Jones - and still wants to! But that doesn't mean he's going to stop acting. In an exclusive interview, he said "I was glad that the character was alive for me to play in this new iteration." And this was the only time Ford, being known…
