Teacher's pay

Many teachers complain about how they don't get paid enough for what they do. Are they right? Should we pay teachers more? I have one reason why we should, and one reason why we shouldn't.

I'll start by telling you the reason why we should. Teachers do a lot for us without us even realizing it, or even taking a minute to thank them. They obviously like to teach, and actually care about our education. Otherwise they wouldn't be doing this for a living. Think about it, they have the knowledge to get a better paying job, but they don't do that because they love to teach and be with children. They deserve to get paid more for what they do. Unlike a lot of people out there who have jobs, they actually like doing what they do, and they obviously don't do it for them, they do it for us.

The 0nly reason why I think we shouldn't pay them more is because if we paid them more people would only teach for the money. We wouldn't have very many good teachers like we do now. I'm sure there would be some teachers who tach only because they enjoy it, and not because they just need a job. However, if teachers are getting paid more, there would most likely be more people teaching because of the money.
