Memphis, Tn - Sharp criticism is meeting Governor Bill Haslam's new plan to reform education in Tennessee.
His plan calls for eliminating average class size mandates and eliminating salary hikes based on a teacher's seniority and training.
If the proposal becomes law, the money saved from increasing class sizes would go to fund what Haslam calls "incentive pay," teachers getting paid based on student test scores and evaluation.
Ernie Freeman spoke to two local education experts on if governor Haslam's new system is unfair to teachers, and what kind of impact this could have on students.
