TopicEducation
ContentTeacher Merit pay should mirror that of industry. The teacher is responsible for turning out a quality product. That is the bottom line. Sure, they may work on an "assembly line" with more than one teacher being responsible for each student along their educational progression. So, how do we measure teacher success? That is the tough question! How do we measure success? It used to be how we positively influenced our community. Now, with the influence of New York-based media and foreign money making, it has seemingly become just making money. But given that, put each Teacher on a merit system based on successful students! When the students pay their state and national income tax, a small percent goes back to the teacher! So, as the student pays more taxes as a productive member of society, the teacher will make more money! On the other side, if the teacher turns out a weak or inferior student "product", they will receive less pay.
