I don't think I read the article you are talking about, but I remember hearing about her on NPR a while back. She proposed giving teachers double their salary if they would all give up their tenor (sp?) for one year.
Although I don't know everything about this deal, it sounds great to me. I think it's time we stopped sticking up for mediocre teachers. This job should be competitive for the benefit of our students.
However, how would they judge teachers performance? That might get sticky because I would be very unhappy if it were through standardized test results.
