Are you a teacher yourself? I agree that teachers going into the profession today should take the salary into account when determining whether it's really something that they want to do. It's no secret that many teachers today hold down multiple jobs in order to make ends meet. This said, let's take a look at things from a "services rendered" standpoint. If you look at things in a "you get what you pay for" sort of light, the argument for increased teacher pay becomes a bit clearer. Add to this the fact that educating our children - our future leaders and service providers - is one of the most important tasks ever - and the increased pay argument is supported even more. Teachers today are not just delivering curriculum. They're counseling, providing character guidance, and more. So much of what parents should or have traditionally provided children is being placed on the teacher's docket to deliver. I just think it's time that we start to pay these Highly Qualified Professions a wage that is commensurate with the services they provide. Hey Stephen – and thanks for your comment.

Teachers know what the salary is before stepping into a classroom. If a teacher does not like the money, and it's a top priority, they should consider another career.
