Summary:
               In the article, Where would we be? written by me, http://arapahoehighsarah.blogspot. com/2012/10/article-where-would-we-be.html, , the I state my opinion on how teachers are so unfairly paid. I argue that football players are paid too much. I gave proven details on that information.

Response:
               I strongly approve of the fact that Football players are paid way to much and all they do is play! Yes, they get hurt, but it is still their choice to do it. Teachers give there own time, and lives to provide for us. We always complain about how much homework we have, but think about how much the teachers have! 25 kids per class, 4 classes a day, 100 students in a day, 3 assignments a week... that means they have to grade 300 assignments for 100 students a week. That is 70 assignments more than we have per day!(assuming 5 assignments per day). Teachers work incredibly hard to get there pay, which (in my opinion) isn't half what they deserve. I have actually heard a teacher complain, and yet... they are most likely to work at the same school all of there lives, always saying how much they care about there students. Teachers have stepped in front of guns for there students. They aren't teachers just because they need a job. It takes a truly good and kind person to become a teacher. They have to care about the students, the kids. They have to be willing to give what should be there time to help us when we need it. They have there own family, and decide to call off meetings to help you. One did that for me, and her and I where as close as a teacher and a student can be. I love all of my teachers, and will never be able to thank them enough for that they have done for me, and other students who haven't realized just how much the teachers care... and are payed.
