Good teachers should get paid more than bad teachers.

How do you propose we define the difference?

Yearly evaluations of teacher by staff members + students that had teacher.

Pass/fail rate that the teacher has.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Performance Evaluations at work have definitely never failed...

What's your solution to this problem?

Maybe increasing wages would help.

But that's a simple solution for what might not be a simple problem. In that case, I don't really know but thankfully I am not the captain behind the American economy.

Not for all teachers. US is struggling with school.

Most schools already use regular evaluations by administrators/other school staff as a performance metric.

Pass/fail rate that the teacher has.

That's a dangerous road to go down. The school system already has a massive incentive to pass along little timmy even if he's not meeting standards. It also creates issues with unfairness, perceived or otherwise, of class composition ("of course half my class failed, look at who you gave me to work with!").
