what did critics say about the sophists?
that sophists did not care about language
that sophists should not charge money for their teaching
that sophists taught students to win, not to discover truth
that sophists did not have proper morals or principles

Explanation:

Critics of the Sophists believed they were more concerned with winning arguments (rhetorical success) than with truth - hence the claim they taught students to win not discover truth. They were also seen as lacking in proper moral and ethical principles. Additionally, charging money for teaching was controversial in the context of ancient Greek values. Sophists were actually very concerned with language as they were masters of rhetoric.

Answer:

• that Sophists should not charge money for their teaching
• that Sophists taught students to win, not to discover truth
• that Sophists did not have proper morals or principles
