▶ Your Answer :
It is of worth to discuss whether or not teachers should be paid the same base pay as other professionals like doctors and lawyers. The answer to this question can vary depending on individual’s stance. From my perspective, I agree with the notion because of several reasons.
First of all, teacher’s role is important as other occupations’ role such as doctors and lawyers. This is attributed to the fact that teaching students is one of the most important things that improve society. It is because young students have various and huge possibilities to become anything they want to be. And realizing these potential power in students is teacher’s role. For example, according some interviews with professionally successful people, such as doctors and lawyers, they say that the main cause of their accomplishment is their teachers. This indicates that teacher’s role is so important that they deserve to earn as much money as doctors and lawyers.
Second, teachers works longer time than any other professionals. Although teachers have vacations, they give lessons during the vacation and take care of their student after they get off work. And, surprisingly, they have to take care of their students after the work or students’ graduation. For instance, I sometimes recall my middle school teacher who payed attention to her students even after students’ graduation. When I was in high school, I used to visit her to ask something about my future. At that time, she always gave me useful advice whenever I was worried. As this demonstrate, the working hours of teachers is much longer than it of any other jobs.
To conclude what I mentioned above, I agree that Teachers should be paid the same base pay as other professionals like doctors and lawyers since the role of teachers is valuable and teachers spend long time on their working. |
