A teachers raise

Do you think teachers get paid enough? I will be discussing why teachers should get paid more. I feel very strongly about this topic because my mom is a teacher and my grandma was a teacher for a very long time. Teachers should get paid way more than they do since they do so much for their students and their future, get ridiculed by so many people, and have to worry about financial problems.
Teachers are teaching the people who will be running our future. At schools kids learn anything from work ethic to how to write a paper. Without a teacher students would not learn the crucial skills to read, write, or problem solve to become successful individuals in the real world. Students can even learn to write a check or have a …show more content…

Since the pay is so low teachers are leaving their jobs to find something better. Schools need teachers so bad they are willing to take anyone who has the degree. They might not be a good teacher but they need someone to fill the position. These good quality teachers do everything for their students and put so much work into them but they do not get enough in return, even though according to, “We are Teachers” website it says “Most students, 75 percent, say teachers are mentors and role models” This just goes to show that we need teachers who are good role models and just good a good person in …show more content…

I asked her how she feels about how teachers get paid right now. She said that she has seen teachers in her school worry about getting the money to do a project in the classroom or talking about finances at home. She also said that without teachers this world would be nothing, they would have nobody to teach them the right way and how to do simple things like carry out an interview or an algebra problem. I agree because we are going to lose our good teachers for the reason of low

“If the state is serious about helping its students, it would make sure its teachers are taken care of. Higher pay attracts the best, most qualified teachers” (qtd. in Long). If teachers are not getting paid enough by the district they will end up getting second or third jobs to make ends meet.

For teachers that are working in public schools in lower tax based areas get less funding leading to teachers with less experience and then getting paid less than other teachers in better funded areas. This doesn't benefit anyone, not the students or teachers who are being severely underpaid. Teachers who are also in underfunded schools often have to take on a larger class size than others and also since they get a lower budget for school supplies they often end up paying out of pocket just so their students have the basic supplies. They can have up to 40 kids in one classroom when regularly the max is 20-25 this is more stress to keep eyes on and teach 40

First of all, students should not be paid for good grades due to not needed pressure. The NEA claims : many teachers say, “Paying students for good grades leads to practical problems in their classrooms, including pressure to inflate grades and conflict with students and parents.” This means students are more likely to be in bad moods and have bad relationships with parents and classmates. If some kids get money and the rest don’t, arguments will break out. In a classroom, students are supposed to be respectful to each other in order to have and efficient working environment.
