Will we ever recognize that our teachers should be paid as much if not more than entertainers?!!!!

Until Americans value education the same way as countries like Singapore, Korea, and Japan... our education system will continue to crumble. And it's not just the pay. It's the working conditions and most of all the respect and support from everyone. Teachers should be respected and compensated for having the most important and difficult task of all...educating our future leaders. Problem is, people want something for nothing.
