Long before the time of the duel among Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, years of political differences between the two men were commonly seen, and ultimately as a result had staggering effects on the development of the novice nation and the occurrence of the duel in the first place.

Logically speaking, parents entrust their children's teachers a role they, the parents, were not trained for. Realistically, not only do teachers baby-sit many of their students, they are weighed down with responsibilities no lawyer or engineer will have to endure. Family and friends and teachers will influence the path a youth takes in life. He provides the fuel (determination) and the directions (knowledge) so the student can reach his destination. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook 2002-03 Edition, preparing students for the future workforce is the major stimulus generating the changes in education, and teachers provide the tools and environment for their students to develop these skills. These are the kinds of teachers we are looking for, but if we want more highly certified teachers, then there must be a change in the rate of pay because higher salaries lead to more applicants, and more applicants mean more quality teachers.…

Imagine this: you're a teacher at a very prestigious school, with an exceptional group of students. Your students try their hardest, but some subjects of the curriculum are more difficult than others. Most kids do well on the tests, with a few slipping through the cracks, and the only thought you have is, “how will this affect my paycheck?” Merit pay, according to google, is the raise in pay based on a set of criteria set by the employer. Merit pay is nothing but pernicious to not only the teacher, but the student and school as well. Pay for performance leads to no improvement in teaching by stripping teachers of their motivation to teach. It also leads to a narrower curriculum and ultimately more test prep and money. Additionally, it ultimately leads to corrupt incidences, such as the situations in Atlanta, North Carolina and New York.…

Even if teachers don’t like teaching, it is a great job because of the salary they earn. Teachers are skilled at the subject they teach, therefore they get paid a certain amount whether they work or not. Teachers may not like dealing with disrespectful teenagers, but they like the fact that they get paid just for going to work for about six to eight hours a day. Teachers also don’t have to worry about having to stay overtime or taking work home. Another benefit teachers have is a lunch break; they can go off campus and buy whatever they would want to eat for lunch.…

In an article published in The Washington Post, Roberto A. Ferdman states that a study by Harvard Business School found that CEOs make over 350 times the amount of an average worker (Ferdman). That is more than twice the amount of Switzerland, the country with the second largest CEO-to-worker pay gap, coming in at 148 to 1 (Ferdman). “What Americans share with the rest of the world is a collective disdain for pay inequality” says Ferdman, “People of all ages, education levels, and income brackets, the study found, believe that low-skilled workers are getting paid too little and high-skilled workers are getting paid too much” (Ferdman).…

Teachers have a substantial impact on students, myself included, due to the significant amount of time they spend with them. Teachers verse their students on the topic of their expertise, but they also help them grow as people. While learning how to convert mass to moles, moles to moles, and moles to mass can prove useful if an individual wants to become a chemist, the work ethic gained from finishing assignments before their inevitable deadlines proves most useful. Aside from work ethic, students learn how to persevere when faced with failure, how to be compassionate, how to be patient, and how to be creative yet efficient to complete the task at hand. The school environment allows students to gain qualities like these because teachers push…
