Should teacher be paid according to how much their students lear
2
Although many people are paid according to how good they are
doing in their profession, I think that teachers can only be partly
rewarded for their students grades and knowledge. Getting paid only
for the performance of the students in tests and quantity of their
knowledge will lead to an excessive drill in classrooms, where
teachers like and support only hard working, intelligent people
because they are the cause for his good salary,
while people who have natural difficulties in learning things won't be
good for teachers and popular among them at all. First of all I think
that everyone should be paid according to his performance in work,
that is why I would agree with the statement if the only thing teachers
had to do is getting their pupils to learn. But teachers should also show
and teach things to their students that are not approvable in normal
knowledge tests, like social skills, tolerance and an open mind. That is
why I believe that paying teachers only based on how much their
students know would lead to a one dimensional style of classes in
general, there would be many facts, dates and formulas to learn for
students but some other important things would be left aside, just
because the teacher would get no reward for teaching them. In contrast
to that, a system where teachers are not at all paid for their
performance is in my opinion not the best way to reward work either.
If paid for how much his students know, the teacher will prepare well
for his classes, he will inform himself about good didactic ways of
showing things and his knowledge will be up to date. These are
obvious advantages of the suggested system. The main drawback of
the statement is that teachers would push and foster their students only
in one direction and they would not care about their social and
emotional situation. Support in other matters than learning would
become rare, slower students could become a burden to teachers


because they would lower their salary. Teachers will love their good
students while the bad ones would bother them. This could even lead
to teachers mobbing their bad students out of the class or similar
actions. For this reason I think that this system would create more
harm than good. Maybe a mixed system of generating a teachers
salary would be good, like for instance apart from looking only on the
performance of students also making polls about how satisfied and
happy they are with the class given to them. A good teacher will have


students who know a lot and also like him, therefore he should be paid
well. Teachers who don't prepare for classes will have ignorant
students and their pupils probably won't like them much either. A
system like this could improve the situation at schools and universities
and it would probably make teaching a more attractive profession for
performance oriented people who until now where driven back by low
salaries and lazy teacher-colleagues. Therefore, a change in the
payment system for teachers is necessary but it should not be a burden
on students, like the suggested one would in my opinion be.
