I agree with Mitt: We should have merit pay for teachers

Good teachers should make more money than bad teachers.

Reasons to agree

1. Society should reward good behavior and punish bad behavior. (reasons to agree & disagree)
2. Wiling and eager labor is impossible without incentive.
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.

Reasons to disagree

1. Teacher's with Master's degrees already get paid more.
2. A student's performance depends on more than just a teacher's influence. Parents involvement is probably the biggest factor.
