You do not need to read the whole article, but please try to read until you have understood the arguments for both sides. Also, have a look at some of the comments, if you have time.

1) Should teachers receive a higher salary if their students achieve higher grades?
2) Should teachers receive a lower salary if their students achieve lower grades?
3) Do you think a rule like this would affect how many people want to become teachers?
4) Do you think that this system would encourage teachers to lie?
5) Have you ever heard of a system like this before?
6) Do you think that this system would give students a chance to hurt their teachers? eg. get low grades so the teacher gets less money.

See you tomorrow,

Matthew
