They should only be paid for the costs associated with education. They should not receive any money in excess with that.

Not really; they receive funding or scholarship moneys from the school, but they do not receive money based on a set amount of time worked. Scholarships also typically only go towards tuition or room and board costs as well. Being employed by the university would not force you to use the money received towards tuition or room and board.

Senate Bill: Highly Qualified Teaching Reform
S 101
One Hundred Thirteenth Congress
1st
Session
S. 101
To create more influential and
effective teaching institutions for the betterment of our nation’s future and
to hold teaching standards to a higher level.
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
February 11, 2014
Mr. Scott Nesland introduced the
following bill; which was read once and referred to the Committee on Health,
Education, Labor, and Pensions.
A BILL
To make the qualifications for
teaching higher by means of higher post-high school education or teaching
workshops and a more in-depth qualification exam to reinforce the knowledge of
the teacher.
Be it enacted by the Senate and the
House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT
TITLE
Highly Qualified Teaching Act of 2014.
SEC.2. FINDINGS AND
PURPOSES
(a)
Congress finds the following reasons for teacher qualification reform to be
necessary for the betterment of our nation. It is the norm in many other
successful nations that teachers be held to the highest standard of any
employment. After all, teachers are the ones to determine how intelligent and
disciplined the future of our nation will be. “It is known that having a
college degree is linked to higher pay, according to a 2010 Educations Pays
report from the College Board. ‘The median earnings of bachelor's degree
recipients working full-time year-round in 2008 were $55,700,’ reads the
report.” That's $21,900 more than what individuals with only a high school
diploma earned (education.yahoo.net 2 facts). With that being said, the
teachers in countries like China are also rewarded for being held to such a
high standard with a much higher yearly salary in comparison with the United
States. This leads us to the simple conclusion that higher qualifications for
teachers will lead to a more advanced, disciplined future.
(b)
The purposes of this Act are to raise the intensity of the degree required to
become a teacher and also to further the education of current teachers via
teaching workshops and online classes.
SEC.3. PROVISIONS
(a) A
stricter required examination.
(b) At least a master’s degree for priority
consideration in employment.
(c) A
log of continuing education hours (teachers must accumulate a total of 50 hours
yearly of continuing education).
(d)
If teachers or institutions fail to comply with the regulations set forth, they
will be warned, monitored by officials at the state level, and eventually reach
termination if continued. States will report back yearly. The penalty to the
states will be no government funding raised by this bill.
SEC.4. APPROPRIATIONS
(a) Forcing all
teachers to meet such qualifications at first glance may seem to be rash. With
that being said, teachers will receive sufficient government funding to assist
them in continuing education and scholarships to help attain higher level
college degrees. Teachers and teaching students must attend land grant
institutions to receive this financial aid. It will cost no more than 200
billion dollars. All teachers will be granted at least $50,000 as a yearly
salary.
(b) In order to
raise sufficient funds for such financial aid, the national tax on alcohol and
tobacco products will be raised by 1%. This should provide plenty of money to
fund this bill.

Absolutely; the government is providing the individual with the money. They have the right to decide what it is spent on.

1. I would fund it through taxes. I would legalize marijuana and tax the heck out of it. This, if done correctly should provide sufficient funds for the war in no time.
2. I will ask for an army of volunteers and give them great tax breaks, as well as many great national healthcare benefits.
3. The soldiers will receive mail on a weekly basis, delivered by UPS.
4. I will ratify the treaty with Bridgeport, as it has the least amount of risk. We have less to lose with this treaty than the others.
