Dear Editor,
We should pay teachers more than they are being payed now because they are taking the time to teach us things that are going to shape the rest of our lives.
This is an important issue because teachers everyday deal with kids who are loud, talk a lot, don’t listen and often don’t respect our teachers. It’s especially important to me because teachers have helped me through both hard and stressful times, and I’m really grateful for them and want them to stick around.
People might say we don’t have enough money to pay for a bigger salary for teachers, but if we took a small amount of funding from everything that can afford it then we could possibly afford to pay them more even if just a little bit.
Teachers are arguably the most important part of a school. If they weren’t around to put up with all of us then we wouldn’t have a school. If we lose our teachers we lose our teachers we lose our schools and our education.
Sincerely,
Sierra Tanner
