In my opinion, …
From my point of view, …
To my mind …

1 Teachers are ridiculously overpaid, ________ my opinion.

3 __________ a teacher’s point of view, however, things look a little different.
4 There’s no doubt ________ their minds that the teaching profession is undervalued.
5 According ___________ education pundits, they really do have a point as the quality of education is being badly eroded.
6 ______ my mind, they’re exaggerating.
7 I believe _______ giving children a nice shiny tablet and a few jolly games, and they will learn to do their multiplication tables in no time at all.
8 I’m ___________ favour of YouTube schools where teachers only walk around to help the students solve their homework assignments.
9 There is no question __________ it that students could easily take over the jobs of teachers and they’d work for free!
