IMO, if we want to motivate teachers we should give them a bonus based on the change in students performance relative to their past performance. Teaching the Honors classes would not give them an edge because the students where already doing well and the teacher need to keep pushing them.
Anyway, your assuming all students make 100k, the average is around 50k/year and the teacher is already looking at a 60k/year pension. But, what about elementary school teachers they can wait 15 years before you are making any money. Retire after 30 years and only 1/2 or less of your students are working. In the end I think we need to recognize that pensions are really a tax on the teachers past performance as a group. As a group they get money because they did a good job as a group, but there is little direct connection.
