I Think Teachers Deserve More Money
I feel that better and experienced teachers would be hired if schools paid teachers a lot more to teach. There wouldn't be as many teachers who don't care about their work or their students in classrooms.

Education has notoriously been the easiest degree on campus and the lowest paid profession . People understand that going in . Many change to education from engineering, premed , pre law , etc because they are failing those courses and don't want their parents to jerk them out of school.. so they tell mom and dad that they really want to teach , mainly because they can still get into that program with a bad GPA. Then once they graduate , and do their student teaching ... they get a job offer and they sign a contract with a school district that clearly outlines their salary structure . After all of that ... it seems ridiculous for people to complain about teacher's salaries .
Certainly not ALL TEACHERS start like this , but a majority do

I think most teachers are way over paid as it is. Let their pay reflect their competence. If you are a really good teacher you make a lot more money than if you are a really poor teacher. That gives the poor teachers incentive to find something else to do since they can't teach and gives the good teachers reason to keep improving.

@hippyjoe1955 How many groups in each grade level? Is homogenous grouping used? Yes, I am a retired teacher. What is your expertise. Why is this such an important issue for you? This is not as simple an issue as you make it out to be. Anyone with an average IQ understands this.

@Strictgram Doesn't matter. The fact is some teachers are much better than others on a year over year class over class basis. not everyone with a degree can teach.

@hippyjoe1955 Grouping system absolutely matters! I agree some teachers are better than others, the same as in every other profession. But it's near impossible to quantify. You didn't say why this issue is so important to you. Did you have a bad experience with a teacher?
