Let's back up a minute. A lot of the problem is not the teachers. A lot
is parents that think the teachers are baby sitters and surrogate parents.

So there is no reason to pay teachers any more than babysitters, right?

Some barely deserve that. Most teachers get a decent wage today. I
was looking at the pays of teachers in Worcester MA just last week.
They ranged from mid 50s to mid 80s in real salary even though
starting scales are less.

Like many professions, some are terrific, others much less so. Hard
to get rid of the bad ones though.
