I highlight both the strengths, such as financial incentives for effective teaching, and the weaknesses, including the pressure it places on educators. I also touch on recent adjustments made to the system to enhance fairness and support for teachers, especially during and after COVID. It&apos;s crucial for us to acknowledge these changes and consider their implications on our teaching practices.</description></oembed>
