    One issue has been very common in schools, due to the lack of staff in schools, districts are hiring unprepared personnel to cover all areas of education. Many of new teachers who are inside of a classroom don not still have their credentials which includes many of part time teachers too. Every teacher should have all their credentials and training done before being hired. This, would help to dismissed little by little those poor quality teachers. Good instructors should get a higher payment than those who do not put minimum effort on their job. Although, there are concerns from part time teachers who get low annual payment from those who are full time employed. They do not agree that higher level teachers get a more generous salary than they do. Consequently, some part time teachers are a little upset because they think that is not fair, they wonder what full time teachers do, that they don't however, that is what is correct. Every individual should be waged according their education field and the quality of their…

Paying students may be an exceptional idea, but the outcome may not be a good one. It can cause many dilemmas. It can also cause many controversies all around the school. Parents might not approve of this while students definitely will. Paying students money for satisfying grades is an atrocious idea because it can change student’s perspective of education, students would focus more on accolades than education, and students and parents can have a strife with the school.…

Due to this reason teachers do not take interest in teaching and their family is always unhappy with the salaries packages. Therefore, the low salary package is a source of stress for teachers. One of the teachers stated: “As teachers we work very hard but what we get in return is not enough to meet our basic family needs” (Excerpt from teacher’s interview). Sandra Feldman, president of the American Federation of Teachers, had once said that if we want to improve the quality of our schools, a major part of that is to make sure that attract the best and the brightest and you’re not going to do that without increasing salaries.…

    One of the most important reasons why the priority is given to increasing teachers’ salary instead of athletics is to improve the quality of the education system. For one thing, it is significantly essential/ crucial to raise teachers’ wages as/because it can motivate teachers to flourish their skills in classes. It may be claimed that raising their salary may affect the social position of teachers due to the fact that teachers seem to pursue the job for money rather than showing/ possessing their enthusiasm. However, if the teachers do not receive proper compensation for their knowledge, they cannot continue to work effectively as their earning is not enough to afford their living expenses. With the development of society and the high demand for knowledge from teachers compared to that in the past, the instructors are required to work harder to fulfill their tasks. Similarly, in many developed countries, it is believed/ convinced that giving approriate rewards and additional incentives are a tool to have a better education system.

For another, if the teachers have more money, they will equipped with advanced facilities such as highly-developed computers and labs to serve a great purpose for teaching, which is greatly helpful for students who need good amenities/ facilities to complete their skills or tasks.…
