If your goddess sees that you can save lives and do not do so, then she is as immoral as you are if you do not use that talent.
In Gnostic Christian terms, she would be a vile demiurge.

Really?
We are talking of a talent such as Jesus displayed.
If you have the type of talent Jesus says a true believer can have, and you do not use it the way he did, you are not a moral man.
Is that what you want your god to observe?

The scripture I quoted.
As to talent. The degree of that talent is dependent on the observers.
If only the one observes it, yourself, and it is not tested against the standards set by society, then it cannot be recognized or confirmed as a true talent as described and recognized by the masses...
Talent is judge by others is it not?
To only go by ones own opinion is to never test it for it's veracity.
That is scripture.
1 Thessalonians 5:21 Test all things; hold fast what is good.

You might think you are the best pianist in the world but if no one else agrees then you are...
If one uses a talent without displaying that talent, then it is a wasted talent and a delusion talent.
If a true believer cannot or will not display his talent, then he is not emulating Jesus the way Jesus said we all should.

They would get higher bonuses for bringing poor students up to par and would be well motivated to do so because of that.
The student body that decides the criteria of the pay and bonus schedule would likely be on guard for the slacker teachers who only take on the easy students. That merit or...
No argument, but money is a great motivator.
If a teacher cannot motivate their charges then they should not get paid for that failure and the student would soon find that no teacher will take him on unless he smartens up and quits wasting the teachers time and money.
If teachers as well as...
Nice.
All education systems should pay back as a reward to those who keep their nose to the grindstone.
Value for dollar is always the best policy.

"Grade based wages for teachers is not a good idea."
I agree and a high grade would not be what would bring in the larger pay. Local grades mean nothing to the wolrds standard and a higher grade in that is what would create the higher grade.
Students would know this and likely fire teachers...
I like your view of apprentice programs.
To your first.
If the wage maximization also sends us to the top of the world statistics then that is a good thing.
That rating is what would be maximizing the pay and students should have no problem paying for the best.

Those who pay for education should consider the benefits of a bonus system for students.
We have been watching the Canadian and U.S. national level of education stall in the doldrums, as compared to other nations. Not shamefully so but irritatingly so. We need to reverse this slow slide.

The Jesus we are discussing is thought to be god. God is said to be able to do anything.
That is neither the Jesus nor the God I have in mind.
Why? A miracle-worker could work miracles without drawing attention to themself, or perhaps even to the miraculous nature of their miracles.

I do not agree but that is not surprising since you foolishly say that religions are not a major cause of war.
Only in fairly recent times have the religious not been the vast majority and for you to try to blame the small minority for being the cause of most wars is to have blinders on...
I think that outlawing all religions with imaginary gods would be a good idea as they, like Christianity did and Islam, seem to mostly use violence to grow their religions instead of using goo deeds.
One of the many Jesus' was a pacifist who said that we should all closet ourselves to pray.
