Teachers all across America are becoming dissatisfied and disapprove their salaries. Since teachers are not making as much as they should be, the outcome could be very disappointing and fatal to some schools. This idea that teachers are not making enough as they should be started in the 1800’s. During this time period, kids in America had low test scores and most of the blame was put toward teachers. Of course these kids test scores only got worse, and teachers salaries decreased as the fault was put on the teachers. I came up with the idea to do my persuasive essay on this topic because my step-mom is a teacher, and she doesn't make close to the amount of income as she should be. As one of the top teachers in her school district, she

“I don't know about all teachers, but my teachers do not seem to care. They never get work graded on time, and they never really teach anything. They just tell us to go and read the dang book and that we should learn from that. They don't stay after school to help, they want to go home. I do too, but at least I am willing to stay... My teachers don't work for their money and do not deserve a raise” (Debate.org). Although teachers can get a little bit off track and ‘lazy’ sometimes, teachers still work very hard to educate students and organize 100 students grades. We need to give teachers the benefit of the doubt in this case. “Teachers responded to our study by citing the long hours they work. But unlike studies that rely on teachers' shorter "contract hours," we used teachers' self-reported work hours - if they said they worked 60 hours, we assumed they did. But it's important to note that, based on these self-reported data as well as a detailed Bureau of Labor Statistics Study, average public school teachers don't work unusually long hours - about 44 hours per week, the same as other college graduates” (Biggs, Andrew, RealClearMarkets). Although some teachers could slack and teach only for the money if their income is raised, a large majority of teachers still teach for the love of it and not slack if income is raised. I am also a student and been around many …show more content…
This topic is important because teaching is one of the most important and meaningful jobs in the United States. Teachers create students into mature adults, and they need to be paid more for their huge contribution on students lives. People should take this topic seriously because people should think about the financial troubles on teachers. People need to remember how hard teachers work while earning such a small pay. I think that people could contribute and help teachers earn more money by, persuading the government to raise teachers pay. We could also start programs and events that would raise money for schools, so teachers could get more of the tax money. Parents could also bring in more school supplies and classroom materials, so teachers don’t have to spend their money on these items. Teachers are the people who change lives and make you who you are today, we must give them
