This argument about teacher pay has been going on forever and will not be solved here. Here are my opinions:
I don't like teacher unions or tenure. You should be able to fire a bad teacher.
Teacher salaries are fine. If you don't want the job, get another one. If they pay more in Connecticut or New Jersey, move there.
Higher pay should be based on better results, but, over the years, I have not seen better results in the schools. And, too much money goes to administrators.
As compared to most full time jobs, teaching is a part time job. Always has been.
