As it stands (at least in the UK) all teachers in any given school are paid the same, regardless of what sort of grades their students achieve. Is this system fair? Should teaches who produce students with superior grades receive higher pay for this? What are the implications of the system used now and the system proposed?
Some points to consider here:
• Is it fair to award teachers in such a way?
• Will it increase the quality of teaching as there are higher rewards at stake?
• Will the overall quality of education improve?
• Some students cannot achieve as highly as others - is this fair on teachers?
• Could children be put under undue pressure for the benefit of the teacher?
• Could the system be cheated?
Fire away.
