Describe the long-term economic impact of good teaching, beginning with teachers in kindergarten
What will be an ideal response?
One study found that students who had a good kindergarten teacher resulted in students who were more likely to attend college and adults who were more likely to own a home, earn more over a life-time, and have sizable retirement savings.
Other research suggests that having a good teacher in fourth grade results in increased adult incomes, an increased likelihood of going to college, and a decreased likelihood of teenage pregnancy. Some experts believe that replacing as few as the bottom 5% of teachers, and replacing them with teachers of no more than average ability, would significantly increase individual earnings over a lifetime.
