what are some good reasons why teachers should get paid more than hockey players?
I am writing about how teachers should get paid more than hockey players and i need some more reasons, do you have any good ones?
Teacher’s will have further incentive to do a better job in the classroom.
Teacher’s work a lot harder than hockey player’s do, because teaching people is pretty hard work. They have to devote a lot of off-the-clock time to grading and helping students and such, not to mention teacher’s still have lives outside of school to maintain.
Teachers are what help raise up the next generation. They watch-over, nurture, and educate children almost (and sometimes more) than parents do. Everybody can use a teacher, not everyone can use a hockey player.

teachers help to mold and shape our nation’s youth, they are teaching the future leaders, doctors, scientist, etc…
what are hockey players doing? entertaining us?
I have always felt that teachers were the most drastically underpaid of all professions.

It is tough to compare the two. If you are trying to justify teachers earning more than hockey players, you need to realize that even though hockey is one of the "lowest" paying professional sports the minimum paid hockey player still earns half a million dollars. This would mean that teachers would then need to earn more than half a million and there is no way that the money is available to do that.
Teachers certainly should make more money then they currently earn, but there isn’t enough funding to go around. There would be a lot more people wanting to become teachers. Teachers are great role models and offer students guidance that they can use for the rest of their lives. If the money is there then teachers should earn more.

everyone is acting like hockey is an easy thing. Do you know how hard it is to even be in the NHL? They work their butt’s off all year long. Teachers just hand out worksheets and book work and they also get the summers off. Some teachers make kids life a living hell. How’s that for a good role model? They are getting a little more than what they deserve. It’s a billion more times easier to be a teacher than a hockey player. And if anyone would like to disagree, lets check out the hockey workout room and on-ice practices, you wouldn’t last a second.

Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd. (MLSEL) owns the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Toronto Raptors, Air Canada Centre, Leafs TV and Raptors NBA TV. The Maple Leafs franchise value is #1 in the NHL. The Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan owns 58.4% of MLSEL. Just a little fact about the poor teachers, maybe they should be talking to their union about matching their salaries to hockey players’ salaries.

Have you ever been entertained by a teacher?

Teachers make six figures? Or do you mean university professors? Maybe Ontario teachers make six figures for doing practically nothing but cashing in on other people’s misery.

Nothing that i can think about plus teachers give homework and home work takes away fun time and family time and if you dont have lots of family time then it is more likely that you will become a drug addict or something like that which everyone knows is bad but on the bright side umm well there isnt one sorry

Obviously you don’t know how much time and commitment nhl players have put in to better themselves at what they do
Most nhl players have been practicing and playing hockey since age four.
Most teachers have been training for teaching since 18
Along with practicing hockey players need to get in their best physical condition and have to invest alot of money into hockey.
Sure hockey may be just a game, but it has drawn many nations together watching something they love
Although teachers should be paid more money, hockey requires way more talent and work. Hockey players deserve way more than teachers.

No reason. If hockey players whined as much as teachers do, we’d never watch them.
