Constructing Arguments (Digitally) Draft 1

Because education is the foundation of everyone’s future, teacher’s salaries should be raised to complement their work efforts. Without education, not one person will be successful in any endeavor that they take on. This is important when thinking about the types of teacher’s/professors that we would like to have instructing, what we should consider not only students, but our futures. If it’s one thing we all have in common, it’s that we all share the same future when considering the outcome of the world. The variable that this outcome strongly depends on is the education of the student’s/people that take place in the present. These student’s/people have to have the proper education to ensure the well-being of everyone’s future. But, how do we ensure that these student’s/people are being provided with the proper education to do so?


 The answer is in the people who are giving them the essential building blocks to build our futures. In other words, our teachers, professors, instructors, and mentors of today. But, how do we make sure that these teachers are providing the student’s with such valuable education? We pay them higher wagers to do so. Higher wages will only encourage better people to become our teachers, professors, instructors, and mentors of today. The demand for better teachers in today’s society is soaring. But on the other hand, the passion to want to be a teacher in today’s society is plummeting. This is due to the realization that being an everyday teacher/professor doesn’t pay as highly as being an everyday doctor, lawyer, pilot, or marketer. Though, the job is just as difficult & important as any of those jobs listed, the pay just does not add up. To break down the concept, all of the scholars who are putting forth their best efforts to become your doctor, lawyer, pilot, or marketer might just have what it takes to be your student’s/scholars’ brilliant teacher/professor.

 The problem is that the scholar who’s putting for those efforts are putting them forth because of the guaranteed higher-wages that will come along with taking on those jobs. You really can’t say the same for a teacher, and that’s where the problem needs to be resolved. The only way of doing so is raising the wages of your everyday teacher/professor to accommodate them for their hard efforts. It may even inspire the teachers/professors currently instructing to do better.
