Persuasive Speech: Should Teachers Be Paid?
Specific Purpose: To persuade the audience that teachers and professors need an increase in salary due to the fact that they have the potential to determine the future of the country.
Thesis Statement: Teachers have the possibility to determine the future of the nation based on the education they provide to students. However with such a low salary the drive to become a teacher has fallen off in demand. I’m here to present a solution.

B. This cause is most highly recognized by economists. Based on the market for teaching the structure has failed. Unlike most jobs as time advances salaries adjust to the time period. Unfortunately for teachers as time moves on the pay has only adjusted to fit time period situations of inflation. President after president have promised for education reform but have failed to provide results teachers are among the lowest paid workers in the nation solutions are needed.
