I have never met any teacher or professor that deserves to be paid more.

I've had some really good teachers that deserved way more. I've also had some really crap teachers that should have been arrested. Most of them though were just victims of the system, being forced to teach a curriculum that is geared towards passing one standardized test instead of actually teaching useful knowledge. I'm sure we'd have way better teachers that did deserve more if we got rid of a bunch of the crap that's holding them back.
