Ever heard of teacher owning a Ferrari or Lamborghini? What about a teacher on their yacht reading Robb Report? Do any even know what Robb Report is? As much as teachers deserve to be billionaires, they are not. Many students view teachers as their second parent whose primary goal is to educate them as well as to care and guide their students’ future. Teachers carry heavy responsibility which requires tremendous work, careful planning, precise analyzing, and non-stop grading which can be very stressful. Despite of all their strenuous labor and insurmountable efforts put in for their students, their income is too low to compensate, and thus they should be paid more.

Countless people fail to consider that being a teacher is like an act of lowering one’s self in order to help people, and nothing is more respectable than that. Teachers are the primary reasons for children’s knowledge which helped shape those children the way they are. Despite of all the influences they can have on their students, they receive minimal credits from their students, and not to mention, from the government. According to MacPherson “teacher salaries range from $35,304 to $67,776 with the nationwide average coming in at $55,418” (par. 4).

An NBA player earning more than 110 teachers combined shows how much people value entertainment over education. However, if teachers and education are the sole focus of this country, then schools would produce the smartest people the world has ever seen. Kloeffler, a supporter of increase in teacher’s salary, stated “You’re going to see substantially higher retention … You’re going to see much lower issues of students falling behind and not being able to catch up” (Kloeffler par. 5).

The more subjects a student fails to understand, the further they fall behind, which then result to lesser self-confidence and interest in learning, and eventually feeling inferior of school, people, world, and life itself. In order to avoid children growing up feeling inferior, an increase in salary would solve this problem as teachers would dedicate their time to avoid any confusion and students falling behind.
