" You go to school to learn how to learn " quote by Bala Manian a Silicon Valley entrepreneur.

Many successful people were not much good academically at school.
Seymour's idea of paying teachers according to ability is seriously flawed in as much as without an independent body and an accurate method of grading teachers leaving it to headmasters/mistresses or school commitees will only result in upset teachers hurt by perceived or real bias. There is a shortage of qualified teachers now (especially men) and this sort of policy would only cause doubt amongst those considering a teaching career.
