99) Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Teachers should be paid 
according to how much their students learn. Give specific reasons and examples to 
support your opinion. 
 
We are going to school to get our knowledge. Our parents are paying money for our 
education and they expect us to get the best one. And how disappointed they are if we are 
getting bad grades. They are paying money and don't see any result. Their kids do not learn 
too much. May be its teacher's fault. May be parents should pay less money? A lot of 
parents think like this. But I disagree with the statement that teachers should be paid 
according to how much their students learn. 
I think that everything depends on a student and his willingness to study. So why 
should teachers be paid according to students desire? Teachers help us to understand a lot 
of things from the books if we cannot afford them. And if students do not want to study, 
why should teachers suffer? 
Teachers have been studying for many years. They became teachers through so many 
difficulties and efforts. As far as I know if you want to be a teacher you have to study a lot. 
You have to get very good education, because you will take responsibility for the rest of 
your life-to teach others since you have finished the education. That means that the 
teachers spent a lot of time, energy to get their degree. And I think that they have already 
deserved to be well paid.
People were always paid for their knowledge. As much as you know, as much as 
you are awarded. I think that teachers know a lot, in such a way they should be paid well 
for their knowledge. And it does not depend on how much their students learnt. I think that 
there is no bad teachers- there are only bad students. And if the student explains lack of his 
knowledge because of a teacher that means that he never tried. He never tried to study; he 
never tried to ask his teacher for help, he never wanted to get more than his laziness. 
That's why I think that teachers should not be paid according to how much their 
students learn. I believe that every teacher wants his student to get the best knowledge. 
And it is not his fault that the student didn't want the same thing.
