So if you phone it in, you (most likely) aren't making your bonus.

I don't care for it though as it leads to most teachers teaching to the test. My son is in gifted classes, he's very smart at math and sciences. But he couldn't tell you where Nebraska is or half the state capitals. He has no understanding of history and only a basic knowledge of the big events. He can conjugate verbs all day long, but he couldn't tell you what iambic pentameter is part of.
