Under no circumstances? Really? I can name a few teachers I had who shouldn’t be teaching at all, much less getting paid to teach. Not to mention other people I know and their stories about bad teachers. My cousin who had a teacher who told her she’ll amount to nothing. Now, she’s a Standford grad. My wife had a teacher who gave her a B on a paper and when she came to talk to her about why she got the B, the teacher told her that she doesn’t always get an A. No other reason except that. I had one teacher who basically talked to the board the minute class start till the last minute class ends. No one pays attention in class, yet it was super easy to get an A. I can go on, but you get the idea.
Then there are great teachers who inspired us to be great. Those teachers should be paid a lot more than they’re currently being paid.
