Best Teachers

Mitt Romney would use marketplace principals to reward the best teachers, and teachers with necessary skills in Math and Science.

“I believe that our best teachers are underpaid and should be rewarded for the extra effort they bring to the classroom and the results they deliver for our students. Teachers should be compensated according to their ability to produce real results, not solely on the number of years they’ve been on the job. If we want to attract ambitious teachers, we need to treat teaching as a profession." –Source: Press Release on education reform (January 11, 2006)

Good teachers should make more money.

Reasons to agree:	Reasons to disagree
1. Society should reward good behavior and punish bad behavior.	1. Teacher's with Master's degrees already get paid more.
2. Wiling and eager labor is impossible without incentive.	2. A student's performance depends on more than just a teacher's influence. Parents involvement is probably the biggest factor.
3. Of all forms of incentive – the freedom to attain a reward for one's labors is the most sustaining for most people. Sometimes called THE PROFIT MOTIVE, it is simply the right to plan and to earn and to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
4. There is no reasons that the number of years you have taught should be the only thing that affects your pay.
5. The whole tenor system is corrupt, doesn't work, promotes laziness, and is socialistic.
