And. ifl get the story right (I‘ve had to piece it together). Wixom shouldered a pretty heavy financial burden for conference registration. housing. substitute teachers for at least some ofher classes. etc. ' It is true enough that teachers have long had to accept such expenses as pan oftheir profession. They operate on a basic and limited budget: there is little money for "extras” and even the most gifted administrators can stretch money just so far. But this means that the system establishes clear disincentives for educational innovation: anything teachers do beyond the bare minimum is going to cost them money. Clearly this is not good management. Productive programs. whether in government. business, or education. must have positive incentives as well as “seed money" for promisrng projects. A numberof‘our local educators are doing stellarjobs. limited though their resources may be. And these performances have been attracting national attention. t (3.10:.
