It seems to me that you don't really think the intelligence of public school teachers is very important. Or is it that you don't think teachers deserve to be paid more?
As you can see by my NC statistics, there aren't any NC teachers being paid 75K to teach. I do think that's quite a bit of money for teachers. BUT the starting salary for a first-year teacher here is downright ridiculous. My own mother is a teacher, and so many of the young teachers at her school wait tables on the weekends and over the summer because they are not making enough money in their careers. To me, teachers are more important than that.

You never claimed you knew but you are out there telling us how teacher spots are being filled by under trained people. That's great.
And I think the market will determine how much teachers are paid. They are getting more than they're worth right now because unions can interfere.
