Teaching Should Be Highest Paid Profession


            Teaching should be the highest paid profession .
             What came first the chicken or the egg? The age old question that has puzzled and confused many but may never be answered. Now, ask yourself "Who came first the teacher or the doctor?" a question you may want to ponder upon the next time you vote not to increase the educational budget so that teachers maybe paid for their jobs rather than robbed of their earnings. Teaching is a hazardous sometimes frustrating and tiring occupation not to mention depressing due to the lack of pay. Teaching requires a person to be hard working, devoting, careful and most importantly able to portray different roles or people within the classroom. Due to these extensive requirements, Teaching should be the highest paid occupation.
             Being an educator is becoming increasingly dangerous. In 1998, students of a high school in Oklahoma were scared half to death when some teens brought guns to school injuring and killing many. More recently, a young teen shoots and kills his male teacher on the last day of school. Imagine that these are just two of the hundreds maybe thousands of instances where teachers have been harmed or placed in unsafe situations.
             A teacher must now live in fear, and they are now slapped with the hard and devastating realization that they could be harmed while at work. Now you may say that Policemen and firefighters are presented with life and death situations everyday, but these people enter their profession knowing the dangers and risks they will face. Teachers on the other hand enter their profession under false pretenses, never really knowing that their supposed rewarding jobs come with a high price.
             Another reason why salaries of teachers are not coherent with the level of work and should be increased is the amount of work and difficulty they face each day.
             Lets visualize a class of thirty students ranging from the age of six to eight years, now, all these children are incapable of reading, writing legibly, and in two or three cases unable identifying the letters of the alphabet.
