There is no doubt that in modern society, teachers play a significant role in the growth of their students. To encourage teachers to pay more attention to teaching, it is argued that teachers' compensation should be based on academic achievement of their students. I strongly disagree with this proposal as this policy will bring about some adverse effects on teaching as well as learning and damage the education system in the long term. Moreover, such a compensation scheme for teachers is unfair and unreasonable since students' academic performance depends on a variety of factors in addition to teachers' instructions.
If students' academic performance is considered as the standard of teachers' salaries, it is of great possibility that teachers will exhibit some unreasonable behaviors, which do harm to students. For one thing, most teachers may focus exclusively on preparing their students for tests. For example, as English tests stipulated by Chinese government lay great emphasis on listening and reading, teachers are inclined to improve students' techniques for those tests while neglecting the fact that writing and speaking is equally important in language using. As a result, although a great number of students do well in those English tests, they are unable to communicate effectively in English. In addition, some teachers may even treat students unfairly. They would attach special attention to intelligent students but care little about ordinary ones. In this case, a large number of average students are not likely to receive good education which they are supposed to have.
Another problem with such a compensation scheme is that it would distort the education system in the long run. Under this policy, most teachers would only be concerned with their students' academic results. Then, the education system would become test-driven instead of ability oriented. However, the primary goal of education should be to prepare students to be qualified people rather than test-taking machines. In other words, teachers are not only duty-bound to teach students knowledge and skills prescribed by the syllabi, but have the responsibility to develop students in many other important aspects, i.e. how to deal with different kinds of people.
Some people may insist that this proposed policy will create financial incentives for teachers to devote more time and energy to education. While this may be true to some extent, it is necessary to figure out that this policy is hard to implement when it comes to some real situations. As students are not tantamount to industrial products, their knowledge and skills cannot be exactly evaluated. Even though tests scores students receive can, to some degree, reflect their ability, how could we determine how much effects teachers have made on those grades? It is self-evident that students' academic success depends on a variety of factors, such as talent, passion and family background, besides teachers' instructions. That is to say, there are situations that some students perform poorly in schoolwork even though their teachers have spared no effect to help them, while others do well in schoolwork without much help of teachers who are irresponsible. Therefore, basing salaries and remuneration of teachers on students' academic achievement is apparently not fair and reasonable.
In conclusion, I do not believe that students' academic performance should be regarded as the basis of teachers' salaries because such a policy will have a negative influence on both teachers and students and will even deform the education system. Meanwhile, this policy is unfair and unreasonable to carry out with regard to the fact that many other factors affect students' academic achievement beyond the control of teachers.
