i believe that teachers are one the most underpaid jobs. if you honestly think, where would all the doctors be, or the surgeons be if there were no teachers? Teachers are one of the most important jobs u can have, so y do they have such low wages.
wat do u think bout this topic? |

QUOTE Quite a lot of teachers at my school are Cambridge and Oxford graduates with PhDs in very impressive areas such as Physics and Mathematics. These people could have easily got a job with high pay in a city earning 100,000 a year. But they chose to teach for a salary not even half of that. One guy quit his city job which was earning him 200,000 a year to teach at my school, quartering his annual salary. I think that shows his dedication and desire to teach. I do think some teachers are underpaid, but I guess that's life. They get longer holidays than most people, so I guess that's one of the advantages of being a teacher. Those teachers choose their own way of life then. I don't have any remorse for someone that would shut down there options in life like that, and hey, if they enjoy teaching whatever. that's cool. |
