teachers, should they have higher pay? Options

[kantoaznboi]

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?

Same with athletes, athletes should be paid so much more than teachers. Teachers just don't get the credit that they deserve. It's not their fault that not everybody will become successful or rich. They teach us so we can gain knowledge and use it for the future. It's our choice if we choose to use it or not. That's why they deserve more money. Look at how much they get paid. It's so little and especially with budget cuts (in California) they are getting paid even less. So much money go to these careers that are so insignificant to our lives, that it's ridiculous. A lot of money is going to the war too. Not only are teachers getting paid less, but public schools are losing money. Like my chemistry teacher, since the budget cuts have made the school less able to afford experiment supplies, he has had to pay some of it with his own money. The sad thing is, he isn't paid that much so how can he always be using his own money. He's trying to teach us for the best of us, so we can learn with visuals, but since teachers aren't paid a lot, it's hard to accomplish this task.
