No I am kidding ;D Do you believe that teachers should be paid more than they are, even if it means a large increase in taxes? After all, the children's education is very important. But what if a child is homeschooled, why should the parents have to pay the increase in taxes if it's just to pay the teachers who aren't teaching their kids? Your thoughts on this?

huh, never thought about the homeshooled kids. . .what i think is that celebrities and athletes shouldn't get paye millions of dollars, that makes me so mad! Doctors and teachers that help and save lives, or ever firefighters should get payed way more than they do! People like Paris Hilton don't deserve money just because they are "celebrities"

I agree, Teachers get paid way to much and the thing is, is when I had a tutor come in (when my doctors paid for it) she said she makes nearly nothing and she does alot more than those teachers out there. It's unfair I think! And why exactly do we have to pay schooltaxes?

I don't understand why the school taxes are way too much. I mean, here, the school gets barely any money. And not to say you are wrong. . .but you kinda are. Teachers actually don't make much money at all. All the taxes, here anyways, must be going somewhere else because they certainly don't go to new supplies, heating and other utilities for the building, building repairs which darklight's and mine certaintly needs, and it definately doesn't go to the teachers. Honestly. they don't get payed much at all. Not trying to be all in your face, lol, but I agree some teachers are awful and just shouldn't be teachers, but the others that actually do their job actually deserve more than their measly salary. . .not less.

Same here! The mold on the ceiling and in the ventilation is the only thing keeping it together. It's been up and running since 1975 and was meant to be only a temporary building and they were supposed to make another highschool later. Since it was supposed to be temporary, they went the cheapest route and nothing is of good quality. The entire building should just be torn down, but it isn't. And there are next to no supplies in our school, and this isn't a poor town by anymeans, so I have no idea where our taxes are going.

This Middle School that I went to was built in the 1940s I thought, It's not in great shape.

Oh geez, I would expect it to be in awful shape. Our elementary school is pretty gross. The only good one is the middle school which is wicked new and there is seriously a window in every room expcept the gym. . .it's crazy!

Our Middle School has some nice parts and some gross parts. My Great Grandfather helped build doors and windows for the school, and they're still there!!!!
Now that I think of it It may be older than the 40's

Actially, in my opinion, I thoink teachers should be paid way more than they are. The way I look at it, it is very important for a child to get a good education. Good teachers=Maximium learning. But if teaching is to much of a low-paying job..Who would want to become a teacher?

Exactly, lol. Although teachers only work 10 months out of the year with lots of days off in between, they still should get more money than they get. It's not fair that people like base ball players and movie stars get more money than teachers, doctors, and firefighters. It seriously is not fair. . .

It was an electrical fire. There were sparks or something. But anyway, I agree with you one hundred percent.

I think Totours should get more money that actual teachers. Toturs actually do alot more with the stufdents and the students learn more with one on one learning and not a class full of stupid kids who are planning on dropping out in the next couple years.

Actually, that isn't true. Teachers beleive it or not do a lot. They have to concentrate on the indidual grades of each student and plan either labs, lesson plans, and other things, too. And they also have to talk to parents if a child is struggling and they need to stay after school and take time away from their own life to help a child so they are not left behind. Plus, a tutor only deals with one child who will most likely not act up. Teachers, however, must control a group of sometimes twenty students, and if they act up, it is their job to control them. A tutor's job actually is quite possibly easier. So, I have to disagree.

lol. Today, I just found out something that our stupid school has done. They threw out at least 30 practically new still working laptops. Yup, they're all sitting in a dumpster. It's really sick what our school does. They use what little budget we have on new electronics and stuff that WE DON'T NEED!!!! Seriously, a girl I know took home about 5 laptops and they plugged them in and they all ran perfectly. It's sick that they are throwing away perfectly good equipment when it could go to a school that doesn't have as many electronics. We really need to be spending money on repairing our sucky building and school supplies. . not updating our perfectly good electronics.

Haha, that sucks. But we have presidents and vice presidents of every class and they do nothing for the school. They organize prom and stuff like that. Only the head of our schools can say what we do with the school budget and stuff. . .

My school was loaded..... They were complaining about the budget and there was a vote if they should get more money... It didn't pass but the school "found" over a million dollars.

my high school.. is okay.. the teachers I have actually say they make a fair amount of money ...but Our supplies are rediculously pathetic, we have like nothing, and sure teachers try their best but alot of times kids don't care about their education and the teachers just give it up. The kids don't do their homework, fail every test, don't pay attention and always interrupt the teacher and are super disruptive in class. TRUST ME I'm surrounded by them.. Oi. I'm the Artclub Treasurer but I do more work than the president. I'm a lot like the secretary too. I've volunteered to help out with the club all year while all the other member are lazy and don't do anything. So like them. They don't bother with anything. oh well..... -sigh- don't worry I'll survive being surrounded by such dumb bells. I mean it too. only about 10% of all the student at my school actually care about their education
