Do you agree that teachers should make more money than strippers?

Question

what is your opinion on the matter? thank you for your gracious answers

Answer 1

maybe we could have teachers work for tips - then they'd have to be enthusiastic and motivated all the time or go home everyday with no money

Answer 2

This is good in theory, but I think the free market should decide. Teaching is a lifetime profession if you are good. You may not have the starting salary of a stripper, but you can have a steady job. Once a stripper starts getting a little old, she's fired. Let's face it: a 30 year old stripper probably won't make the same money as an 18 year old stripper no matter how well the 30 year old dances. You can be old and ugly and still teach for good money. Over the long haul a teacher will make better money. Now, if a stripper later becomes a teacher, then we may all have to go back to school!

Answer 3

I was about to agree wholeheartedly, and in truth do think that teachers, nurses, police and fire workers all should get paid more. Then I read a comment calling strippers 'scum of the earth' self righteous little prig!
I know its not a job everyone would choose, but what gives her the right to be so scathing, I'll bet she has never met a stripper/lapdancer etc. God forbid she should ever meet a working girl.
Let others live their lives and get on with yours, thats my philosophy.

Answer 4

Oh, God, it's Monday, again.

Well, I think strippers provide an enormous service to big, fat white men who are on business trips away from their wives. Women travelers can then go to nice bars and restaurants and dine in peace. Thus, they should be well paid for what they do. ;-)

Of course, teachers should make more money. They should have better retirement plans as well.

While strippers have no retirement plan unless they hook a "fat cat," many of those G-string tips go unreported to the IRS. I can only hope they know good investment advisors for the day when no one wants to see them strip anymore. :-(

Answer 5

Unless you expect kids to get drunk and stuff money in their teachers undergarments, there's not a whole lot we can do on that one. I agree with you, but as far as the government looks into this is what the two people take home that's taxable. Strippers live off of tips, not wages. Teachers live off wages and don't get tips. Maybe parents should tip their teachers now and then.

Answer 6

Yes. But speaking of strippers and teachers I had a HOT social studies teacher that should have stripped instead of teaching.

Answer 7

Teachers should earn more than a lot of professionals. How else do most people get to where they are now? Education. It all starts somewhere. For too many years, our teachers have been disregarded when it comes to pay. Talk about "No Child Left Behind." How about "No Teacher Left Behind?"

Answer 8

I agree because if all the teachers went to be strippers who would teach? Not I with these demon children these days especially my little sister I'll be a stripper

Answer 9

I think that teachers should make more money than dumb strippers cuz first of all if it wasn't for teachers there wouldn't be any doctors,lawyers,scientists, etc. You know what i mean teachers make a BIG difference in this world even though we hate them when we're students.

Answer 10

Yes, since it's becoming more and more dangerous to be a teacher. I also think they should be able to have a concealed weapon for their safety, because it seems like more teachers are assaulted than strippers.

Answer 11

Yes definitely. I hate strippers and feel they are the scum of the universe and that all strip clubs could be closed down. Besides teacher do much more then stupid strippers who should have gotten an education from a teacher and then they wouldn't have to become a sexual object for a man and they could get a good respectable job.
