Bennett Pope, Chapter 2, question 1

One of the issues that Charles Wheelan describes in chapter 2 is how the education system pushes away the best teachers. There is almost nothing, in my opinion, as tragic as removing the best teachers from the schooling system because of bad economic systems. I have had classes that I am not very interested in become interesting due to good teachers, as well as classes I ordinarily love that become boring due to a bad teacher. Teachers are highly responsible for a student's experience with a class, and good teachers encourage kids to stay in school and keep learning. 

Many people see problems in our education system, and they want reform in our schools. Incentivizing teachers could be a fabulous way to improve them because it will draw better teachers into schools, which will prepare students better for higher education. we are highly privileged to have the teachers we do at Minnehaha, and I think they are a large part of our academic success. By incentivizing teachers to be better, we increase the quality of education exponentially in the future.
