I think teachers do not get paid as much as they should get paid, so anything that they can do to deserve more money is a good thing in my eyes. I think that they should get paid a minimum rate even if their tests scores are bad. They should at least get that and there merit could be like a bonus or commission type thing.  I don’t think that it should all be based on just on test scores because they may just get a group one year that’s bad. They could try their best and their test scores might not change at all. This wouldn’t be fair to the teacher if he didn’t get paid as much when he tried his best. If they did have a merit system I really do not know how they would grade it. It could just be solely based on standardized test scores. If you do it any other way there is always going to be a way to cheat the system to get more money. Personally because of this that they won’t make merit pay for teachers official.  Hopefully they can give a bonus or raise their salary to make them work harder or something. Because without good, hardworking teachers, what will the world come to in the next generation.
