Use the surplus to increase teacher salaries
Feb 14 2008, 7:34 PM EST
Teachers perform one of the most important missions in today's society, and yet, they get paid the least. Most tradies earn double what a teacher makes. I know my plumbing is important, but in today's day and age, I'd like to see some of the surplus money go to increaseing teacher salaries.

I agree!More money should lead to more teachers, which would mean that class sizes can be smaller. In my opinion, this would be a positive in terms of purely academic performance, but it also allows the teacher a better opportunity to spot any potential difficulties the student may be having in other arenas of their life. Education should not be viewed as an individual's financial investment in themselves. A better educated individual is a happier one, with more potential to survive and exist without reliance on government programs for welfare etc. When the government invests in the education of any one child, it pays dividends for all of us in the future. 2 out of 3 found this valuable.
