If you can't find fault with that statement then you didn't look very closely at my use of "there"

Anyway, whether it's right or not depends on how you're valuing it. If you're looking at it from an economic perspective then it is absolutely right. If you're using moral perspective then it may not be but morals are a lot more subjective than economics and what it may be worth to you would be different from a teachers worth to someone else.

A little off topic but there is only so much money to pay teachers. Where is the extra money supposed to come from? If teachers made what athletes do there would only be money to pay perhaps a few thousand. If that happened class sizes would skyrocket and the quality of education would drop significantly. In theory paying teachers more may sound good but it doesn't seem very feasible.
