Thereis an ongoing discussion, with sharply rising volume, as whetherteachers' salary should depend on how well their students perform. Thestatement sounds quite plausible as a way to stimulate teachers toconcentrate on their profession. However, I hold a negative view onthis issue, considering several drawbacks of the suggestion.
0 R0 i! e2 o2 l2 X& ]Inthe beginning of putting the suggestion into practice, it needs to beclarify(clarified) that what is "good performance" as well as what is bad. Somemight believe that students who get higher scores on final exams arebetter students than the others. However, that is not the case,concerning the complex real situation. For example, a student might notdo well in his/her final math exam due to an untimely headache. Or, heshows much more talent on literature than on math. On this condition,people can not simply judge a bad student by his poor score on math.Each student is a unique individual, with his/her own interest andpriority. Thus, how to define "good performance" is a very complex stepof the alleged suggestion that teachers should be paid according to howwell their students perform.
% \4 V# `6 E4 _, O; }Inaddition, even if a detailed regulation or standard of good performancehad been made, we would face another issue that teachers might all wantto teach classes with more talented students. It is natural for everyone to chase profit, including teachers, as people all have the rightto make more money within the realm of law and regulation. If thishappens, it would be totally unjust to those students falling behind oncertain subjects. Many would be disappointed or even hurt. Thus, thisissue would probably raise tremendous public concerns. I am afraid suchan apparent discrimination would be seriously criticized by the mass.% d# _# L9 z7 @

Inmy opinion, it is necessary to raise salary to attract high-caliberteachers into this special profession. However, paying teachersaccording to how well their students perform is absolutely aninappropriate and impractical advice, for those reasons mentioned above. 唉,我觉得你写的已经非常好了,我也是像你这么想的,所以其实我也看不出来有啥逻辑错误(要么我就不这么写了)呵呵,但是感觉你比我要说的清楚很多。佩服佩服。
