Teachers' salaries should be based on their students' academic performance.

 

The topic whether teachers should be paid according to students performance is a point of debate for many. Though it seems to be true at first instance as teachers are always related to students performance but the fact that teachers alone cannot make or spoil anything comes in consideration.

Firstly,it is not always necessary that a student has a good or bad academic performance because of the teacher. He or she may be responsible for the result. Say for example,in a class there are many students who get good score 90 percent and above, some score badly as between 1 to 10 and again there are many who score just average 50-60. The same teacher teaches to all the students in the same manner in the class and still there is variation in their performance. The teacher cannot be held responsible here because each individual vary. Some may have voracity of the particular subject so tried hard to know everything and some may have antipathy of the subject so no matter how hard the teacher teaches he or she has insipid in the subject.

 

Secondly,some students simply studies hard because they like the teacher so as to please them with good performance. Same way,students who dislike a particular teacher develops some apathy towards the subject. Here,the teacher cannot be held responsible.

 

Thirdly,some students go to private tuitions apart from school. So in some cases,the tuition teacher may be responsible for the good scores and not the school teacher.

In contradiction to these points,if the teachers salaries are based on the students academic performance some teachers may try to get good performance by every means. Some may follow the good and others any possible ways may be bad too.

Some teachers will try to improve their teaching so as it easier for students to grap the subject and start giving extra attention and details to weaker students to bring at par their performance with the good ones.

This is for the good way out. But may be in some cases,teachers start a wrong way to give good performance. They may start to leak question papers,take bribes to change marks and all so that the weak performance wont affect their reputation or salary.

Lastly,some people are good at teaching and explaining things to others by innate. If this practice is to be followed these group of people will be at the advantage no matter even if they have very good degrees or not.And some though they have good or higher degrees they cannot make others understand and so less salary for them even if they have higher degree. Hence,qualification will not be factor for salary.

 

So,students perfomance should not be considered as the sole factor for teachers salary though the progress and achievements of the students be considered as a good sign in the teachers career.
