They shouldn't. If teachers were paid based on "performance" or test scores then the teachers in the districts with the rich kids with soccer moms and PTA dads and all the best equipment and computers would get paid the most money. Meanwhile, the teachers who are busting their asses in broken down, overcrowded schools with single parents who are too busy (or dont care) to help their kids with schoolwork don't get paid extra because their students dont test as well. Rewarding the people with the easiest job to do is not the best way to fix education.

performance pay seems like a good incentive. The teachers would work harder if they know they are being rewarded. The students would learn more and score better if the teachers try harder. That's the "why should they", on the other hand It some cases it would be unfair for teachers who work in low income communities and have fewer resources. They might try really hard but are limited by funding.

Because some (not all) teachers become very "comfortable" in their jobs. Because of tenure, it is almost impossible to remove them. In other words, when they serve their probationary time, they have a job for life. With high stakes testing now the norm, there needs to be a way to motivate those teachers who have either lost their fire to teach, or just don't care anymore. Performance pay is as close to getting a teacher to be responsible for test results as you can get. It also rewards those teachers who do a great job in the classroom under some pretty trying conditions, everyday. I have alot more, but I think that kind of sums it up.

YES!
However, the problem with a performance pay is who decides the results. Who is able to tell me that I am good or not?
I was a teacher and I understand. Most of the people I worked with were politicans, not teachers. So, they had people who were in power. This gave them power to do whatever they wanted.
I still say the answer is yes.

The overall performance pay for college pupils is in certainly one of those grades. For instructors that's only too confusing and unrealistic to have overall performance pay. each student and school room is diverse. instructors are required to coach all pupils, such using fact the undesirable ones. although, instructors must be positioned on probation in the event that they are no longer gratifying their household projects.

well performance pay in odr work places is understandable but 1 in schools is rather ruled out.The results a teacher produces does not solely depend on d teachers abilities and work ethic..it also depends on students of his/her class..but performance pays in other places can motivate and produce better reults or atleast that is my opinion..so what say??a thumbs up or a thumbs down??
