Teacher Pay

I believe good teachers should be entitled to higher pay rates. Teachers are getting paid to little in society compared to business men. The average teacher makes between $30,000 and $40,00 a year. I know they only work 3/4 of the year, but have you ever tried to teach a 18 3rd graders? Its hard work. If we pay our teachers a higher salary more people would become teachers. In turn schools could become more selective of who they choose to teach. They no longer have accept only the few that appl every year.
