Re: The salary for the teachers ..

@Chicken_Biryani

I see where you guys are coming from and it makes huge sense to me. The question being, most of the teachers arent really involved in the background of the kids. or are they?

now when I am looking for best schooling options for my kid, I am looking at the league tables across my region and trying to pick schools according to their performance. As a parent, its not concerning me what quality of students went to which school. I am looking at the results and thinking that the School at the top of the league tables , is the best one , has the best teachers , the best students etc ..

If you were to ask me as a parent, I would say , leading schools teachers should be paid well for their effort. That is where my concern comes through. how many parents would keep the factors you guys mentioned in mind when they look at the quality of teachers and their teaching ability rather then the end results on the local and national level.

know what i mean?

CB. The question in OP was how should the salary be determined. In this post, you described the criteria you use to find the best school for your kid. And then conclude the teachers from those schools deserve best salary.

I just beg to differ on the last part. There is no requirement that teachers of the most preferred schools be paid the highest. One should be able to separate what is best for ones child from which teacher deserves the best salary.

In fact, by giving the teachers of the school u prefer the highest salary, u just made the playing field even less level than it already was.

Citizens should clamor for increased funding for poorer schools. And possibly even extra resources compared to other schools to make up for the lower income levels.
