Teacher should be paid according to how well their students perform

Teacher should be paid according to how well their students perform. Agree or disagree?

How much money should the school pay to its teachers? How can the school determine them? Some people believe that teacher should be paid according to how well their students perform. In my opinion, I strongly disagree with this statement, because that estimation method is unfair, can lead to school’s immoral implementations and make the increasing of job quitting.

First and foremost, using how well the students perform to estimate the teaching ability is absolutely not exact and fair. In the class, the students’ ability to understand successful lectures depends on many factors like the intelligence and concentration of students, teaching methods, etc. Students can’t get the high scores if they don’t study hard. If the teaching method of a teacher is good but some students usually absent, those students will not able to understand the lectures.

Second, implementing the method testing students to determine how much salary the school should pay to teachers can lead to some unethical activities. If the school increases the difficulty of exams, the estimation of students’ qualities will become a lower level. This is a kind of trick to save money for school. If the school bases on that level to determine how much money to pay to its teachers, teachers’ salary will be lessened because of that.

Finally, I think using knowledge of students to estimate how much salary the school should pay to the teachers will increase the job quitting. When some teachers get the lower salary than their peers because of their students’ performance, although they do the good jobs as them, they will be unhappy. If that situation still last, the teachers will able to quit their job at that school to find the new job at another school estimating their abilities more properly.

In summary, there is no doubt that the school should not pay to its teachers based on how well their students perform. That estimation method can affect badly to both teachers and the school.
