Education was originally designed to equalize opportunities for all children no matter your race, gender or economic background. That has changed and special needs within public schools have grown without the social and emotional support to address those needs. Salary increases would be a start, but allowing teachers to make educational decisions within their classroom and funding support for special needs of all kinds (academic or social and emotional) is just as important.

A relative taught at a New York State Public University. Expertise in terrorism. Some of the students questioned if the Pentagon had a plan crash into it because a tenured professor in another class taught that a plane did not hit the Pentagon. Not good if you have to pay for schooling which is what ever the teacher believes.
