Income inequality for teachers is the main theme here. However the OP also alluded to the fact that people are arguing over McDonald workers getting$15.00 per hour.
In my view there is not an argument about a McDonald's employee or any other position earning $15.00 per hour. The discussion is centered on whether or not raising the minimum wage to $15.00 helps or hurts. Most economist believe it will have a negative affect because it will create a reduction in staffs around the country.
As to income inequality among teachers it is in the eye of the beholder. I have done enough market surveys of job positions over the years to know that you can't simply make cursory observations . As to quality our students are failing and falling behind other developed countries at a fast clip despite the billions taxpayers pour into schools. further there is now evidence, something I long suspected that teaching college are failing teacher students.
