　　1.Should teachers be paid on how much their students learn?

　　Education plays a great role in the advancement and success of every society. While there are many factors which affect how well a student learns, the teacher is no doubt one of the most important. Some people believe that teachers would be able to teacher their students more if they were better motivited. For this reason, they suggest that teachers be paid according to how much their students learn. In my opinion, this is not a good idea for the following reasons.

　　First, although a teacher can have a great influence on students, he is not the sole determiner of the students’ success. Other factors, such as the school curriculum and the home environment of the students, must be considered. Therefore, not only is the plan to pay teachers according to the success of their students unfair to the teachers, but it is lead the education authorities to disregard other important factors. Second, while basing their pay on how much their students learn might motivate teachers to tech better, it will certainly lead them to put too much pressure on the students. Furthermore, depending on how the students are evaluated, such a system might cause teachers to put too much emphasis on test scores and ignore other measurements of learning.

　　For these reasons, I think that paying teachers accoring to how much their students learn is not a good idea. It is unfair to both the teachers and the students and may be detrimental to the learning process. This, in turn, would be disadvantageous to the society as a whole.

　　2.Childhood: the most important years of a persons life

　　I agree that a person’s childhood years, from birth to twelve years of age, are the most important. All the information I have read about that time of life states that these are the years that form us. These years determine what kind of a person the child will become. During these years we learn about relationships, begin our formed education and develop our moral sense of right and wrong.

　　The early years are the time when we learn about relationships. First we learn about our parents and sibings, then about rest of the world. We learn how to respond to others base on the treatment we’re given. If we are loved, then we know how to love others. If we’re treated harshly, we may grow up to treat others harshly. We also form our ideas about our own self-worth from the way others treat us during these years. They can convince us we are worthless, or they can teach us we deserve love and respect.

　　They are the years when be begin our formal education. We acquire the basic skills--- reading, writing, working with numbers. That we’ll use throughout our lives. We need a good foundation in these subjects. Otherwise, anything we try to do later will be undermined by our lack of skills. Perhaps the most important thing we can learn during these years is how to analyze information and use it. These are skills that will always be useful.

　　Most important, form my point of view, these are the years when we develop our moral sense of what’s right and wrong. Others teach us about good and bad, but later in our early years we begin to decide for ourselves. It is also during this time that we begin to develop the self-discipline to live according to our morals.

　　I believe a person grows and changes for the better throughout the many stages of life. However, the foundation is laid in those first few years of life.

　　3. We value scientists more

　　Artists and scientists both make valuable contribution to our society. It may seem sometimes that artists are more valued. That’s because those artists who are famous and make a lot of money. However, they are relatively few. The fact is that scientists are more valued. They get more respect from society for the work they do.

　　Artists reflect their times and their culture. A painter or a writer shows us in pictures and words what we are like as a people. They record our culture for future generations. Actors and other performers, like singers and dancers, entertain us. They take our minds off our troubles, and remind us how beautiful and exciting our imaginations can be. Artists also help keep their societies mentally and emotionally healthy. For example, children that participate in the arts, such as painting or music, in school do better in their other studies. Art of all types is necessary to the human spirit.

　　The contributions scientists make to society are more obvious. They include the cars we drive, the computer we use at home and at work, and the appliances that helpus cook our meals and clean our houses. All of these come from the ideas and hard work for scientists. Because of scientific discoveries, we’re living longer and more healthful lives.scientists also contribute to the arts. Movies are the result of science. So are television, radio, and the recording of music on CDs.

　　Generally, scientists don’t make as much money as famous artists like film stars, opera singers or successful painters. However, our society gives them more respect, and they generally make a good living. Scientists are considered to be serious professionals, while artists are sometimes viewed as flaky, irresponsible people. So overall, I’d have to conclude that we value scientists more.
