Article: Where would we be?

   People say that the world has been in existence for 4.5 million years. We have learned billions of things as humans... by teachers. Think about it! Where would our world be with out teachers? They have been teaching the WORLD for 4.5 million years. For those who believe in dinosaurs, who taught the dinosaurs to... well, live? What about Adam and Eve's children? Who who where they taught by? There parents, there teachers. The world would be no-where without our amazing teachers. Teachers have been known for saving there students. Several teachers have stepped in front of pistols to save there students.  Teachers make an average of $49,280.
   Football, soccer, tennis, track, ping-pong... just a few of the 200 sports that entertain humans. Practically every sport requires a ball, strong peoples, and screaming fans. They have broken there necks, just to entertain us. They have been playing for years now. Where would our world be without sports? Without the Superbowl? Professional sport players make an average of $2,000,000.
   What point am I trying to make? Look again at the VERY REAL information above. Who seems more important? For those of you who say the football players... yikes. So, you think football players are more important? Than think about this... who taught the football players? There coaches right? Well who taught the coaches? The teachers. They have been our source of life for 4.5 million years. That is more than twice the amount the average foot ball player makes in a year. Is there something wrong with that? I strongly believe so.
   For a long time, I have been thinking about how much my teachers mean to me, and how much closer I've gotten to be close to them. Our world would be a disaster without teachers. If no one taught anyone anything, we would be a catastrophe. No one could talk, write, drive, walk, think, live. We wouldn't be able to teach our children, or know what they are trying to say to us. The baby teachers help us learn how to take care of our first. Without them, we couldn't take care of our children.  Well, you could probably raise your child, and perhaps even there's, but after that... your baby would grow to be somewhat of a zombie (if they even lived). Teachers are the source for our pay in our adult lives. They teach us how to do our jobs, how to survive in the real world, away from our parents' wings. Teachers care about there students, enough to give up time with there family. So many teachers in the past have given there time to help me. Some have even been there through my personal life. My 6th grade English teacher was like a 2nd sister to me, my Science teacher from 6th grade helped me get through some pain at O.D.E. My English teacher said not that long ago, "I've been so busy grading your tests, that I haven't been able to see my husband!" (whom she JUST married) Our world would die if we didn't have our teachers... every single one of them... from Kindergarten to being a Senior in college... even after that. But if school just stopped and all the teachers where fired, what would society do? We wouold be relived. "Yay! No more school!"
   For a short time, I have been thinking about how funny people get about sports. I mean, I understand why people get excited. I'm not saying ban it or anything.. it's good to have something exciting to look forward to. A lot of  peoples defense to football payers would be that they, "break there necks, and become paralyzed for life, just to entertain the world." And they do, players have died from accidents like that, but that's there choice. They know what they are getting into. If football and sports just suddenly... stopped, I bet you $200 that people would get upset. But we wouldn't go crazy! The world wouldn't end! People would find something else to love. The professional sport players could become someone else, and keep living their lives.

   As I stated before, I don't want anything to happen to the sports. They are fantastic!!! I myself love to play spots, and love to cheer for my own High School teams, but is it really necessary for them to be paid so much money, just to play? Teachers are the worlds power, and they are paid 20¢ compared to the football players. I find it extremely important that we cut professional sport players pay, and give more to the teachers. After all, where would we all be without them?
