I believe that teachers are not compensated fairly for all of the work that they put into our future generations. They are, after all, molding what will someday be our doctors, lawyers, and business owners. Shouldn't they get more credit? The reason I am so interested in this article is because I am studying to be a teacher and the only downfall is the salary. This program also helps with students that are not on the track to graduate and schools with a large drop out rate. I think that it needs to be continued because there are so many students that need extra aid because they do not have family at home that will push them to do their best.

This relates to corporate social responsibility because it matters if this program continues. There are many debates happening to decide whether or not there needs to be more funding put into the program. It really matters for our community and our world because someday the people that need that extra push could save our lives or give us a job. It is also important because that way more students can have a chance to volunteer which helps out the community a lot. Keeping this program could make a difference by so many people that will someday be a huge part of the society.
I agree that our society hasn't placed enough credit upon teachers shoulders. That we as a society need to rethink our values, since we are credited so highly on learning and growing as individuals and yet fail to compensate those that ensure this.
ReplyDeleteI see that you're thinking about the government's social responsibility to its people, rather than a corporation's responsibility to its employees or the world. Cool that you found something that connected to your passions!
