Should teaching be made the highest paid job?

Yes. This is an expression of respect and gratitude for a Teacher and to the teaching profession.

But, who decides and who implements ?

May be implemented in Govt. run schools and colleges. What about the Privates ?  

but i say yes u shouldn't pay much but this is to given the highest respect as it shows the way to life.

sir if thats every one wish.but then how could a lower locality boy would able to pay.and how each and every one afford to pay on different forms of educations they want to build up.

and if no then i prefer every one would try every thing and get through something.knowing everything to a extent.

1. Teachers spreed knowledge with their best efforts.

2. Knowledge is the only key of sucess in every part of life..!!

Thanks for the referral Ms Sarika.

A very interesting topic Ms Sheetal.

We are what our teachers have made us. As Ms Sarika rightly said teachers are the “FUTURE FARMERS” who shape our children. We as a parent/brother/sister/relative get frustrated with “our own kids” so just imagine a teacher who has to handle 30-40 kids at a time. A person who comes in to teaching just because he/she is frustrated as they did not find job elsewhere and even in teaching the pay is not good will surely not make a good teacher, and can really scare away children from schools.

I don’t say that teaching should be the highest paid job, as this is a very difficult thing to do, that is to define a pay so that no one gets more than the teachers, but it should be made such that the pay scale is higher than or at least equal to some other professionals such as Doctors, MBA’s.  

yes it can be made. as teaching is one of the finest job one is doing.

yes, but vacation time should be the learning period for the teachers. refreshers, subject updates and methodology updates should be manditory

I fully support the idea. A teacher’s job should be full of rewards according to his performance. He should be accountable for good teaching, research and innovation in his field and useful for the community as a moral guide. It is required to create immense opportunity in career development through performance for the teachers to attract best brains.

I agree with Sheetal. Teachers are the "Future framers" of a nation. They are responsible for framing a country's future- Its children. If they are not paid properly, then good talents won't take teaching as a career which would mean declination the quality of education given to children and a nation's future at a risk. So teaching should be the highest paying job so that good reasearchers, scientists and creative minds take it as career and making students like them.
