Maybe Gates has the wrong performance metrics and incentives. Aka Lambda School style, tie teacher pay to actual earnings of their students.

You must not have any teachers close to you in your life if you don’t see how disastrous that would be for them

But yes you first need to learn to think. Wonder why it’s so hard to measure teacher performance. Any insights from your teacher contacts?

The challenge, from what I can tell, is that almost no 2 teachers are given the same situation. Your idea would discourage teachers from working with high risk students, immigrants, disadvantaged—and would reorient education incentives dangerously to funnel kids straight to jobs.

I like Lambda, Holburton etc and what they can accomplish but I strongly believe the incentives would get skewed at the high school level, and that all students should have access to a high school education that isn’t tied to their immediate earnings upon graduation.

It’s a shame we can’t tie teacher performance to metrics yet. Bc if we could we could pay for performance and then the teachers could earn a lot more, and the worst could be replaced. The best teachers should make $500k/year at least.

the definition of "best" is a problem. An example: if I were paid by the clicks I was able to bring to Forbes, covering enterprise software and venture capital would be against my financial interests. Similarly, teachers would be incentivized to focus on potential high earners.
