During a speech, President Obama said, "Education is an investment that we need to win the future."
He's right. In order to invest in our kids' futures, we need to invest in teachers now.
The most important school-based factor in a child's education is teacher quality, and America's teachers are grossly underpaid. StudentsFirst is working to elevate the teaching profession by advocating teachers be rewarded for excellence. Those who show they can move kids along academically should be compensated accordingly.
Our great teachers are the ones who help shape our kids' lives, the ones who give them tools to succeed. Teachers help pave the way for children to become scientists, engineers, world leaders. Their impact on a child's life can't be underestimated.
As President Obama says, an investment in education is an investment in our future. Sign the pledge in support of paying America's effective teachers what they deserve.

Education is one of the most important things in life, besides health and love. Teachers make this possible. They work very hard to inspire young people to read, learn, and be productive themselves. I wouldn't be who I am today without my teachers.

It is incredible to me that the teachers who give children the foundation they will need to become doctors, lawyers, scientists and other highly paid members of society are paid so little.

"You get what you pay for" also applies to teachers. When an employee is well taken care of, you'll see the result in their choices and behaviour. It is ridiculous to allow low wages for our teachers, especially now!
