Teacher appreciation week idea
One big support that students of the world can lobby is to increase the salaries of teachers because this is one of the reasons why quality of education in many schools world wide also suffered in alarming scale. The low morale of teachers in many schools is because they cannot help their family’s problem of lack of funds to support their daily needs. The students all over the world can unite and lobby the UN to help the plight of teachers, especially in third world countries.
Here are the things which might happen when the teacher’s salaries and benefits are increased.
-
Concentrated teaching – Since they are contented with their salaries and other benefits we can expect them to concentrate their time in classrooms so that they can impart the knowledge very diligently. They have no worries their children are hungry in their homes while they are also teaching and many other concerns.
-
No more moonlighting – We can expect that teachers would no longer find other jobs to sustain their daily needs as well as they can also send their children in good schools. The worries of the teachers who only receive low salaries are the main cause of their absences in classes because they need to look for money to augment the needs of their school children.
-
They become more diligent – Since they have no more worries in their homes they can think well and prepare better lesson plans for the next day’s class discussion. This simply means they have more time to research and prepare their lesson plans and even prepare visual aids to support their discussion.
-
They have more time – The regular number of hours in teaching for one year can be achieved, thus the quality of education is also very possible. Unlike when they have more problems when they are forced to take leave of absences to help their family first, instead of staying in classrooms to impart more knowledge. A day that a teacher takes a leave of absence is already a knowledge lost to school children.
