Teachers: Should they be paid more?

[flypie743]

My vote is yes. Teachers should be paid more than what they are currently being paid for what they do. Teachers are the ones who really have an impact on the world. They are really affecting our future. Teachers are the ones who are educating children all over the world. They are teaching them grammar, math, history, etc. They are even teaching other things in school (smoking and drugs are bad, etc.) Now, take for example, the football player. I'm not saying I do not appreciate what he does. He gets paid millions of dollars for tossing a ball around. Yeah, that's great. Now compare it to the low wage teachers. The teachers are helping our world much more than the football players, but they get paid tons less money, is this right? Now, yes, there aren't many football players around--they are like the gems of our society. However, my point is that when you look at how much teachers are getting paid and compare it to athletes it makes you think about what the teachers are doing and what they should be getting for it.

Q, I am waiting for your response =P
