There's a difference between value and time.

The janitors job here is significantly harder than mine from a "hard work" stand point. But the product of her labour is a clean toilet seat.

The sandwich maker makes a sandwich, a good teacher is an investment in thousands of children's futures and I would argue a good K-12 education is a key factor that leads into success in life. There's a value proposition there. The sandwich maker, not so much. Want good people, you have to draw them in, especially when talented individuals have ample opportunity elsewhere.

Teachers absolutely deserve 100k a year.

You want the most talented teachers to make the best possible students? You gotta pay for it.

We, as a society, basically say we want to spend the minimum on everything and take the minimum result that comes with it.

Pretty much.

Of coarse, why else would they introduce common core?
It is literally math for morons.

BTW, have you all seen how stupid the younger generations are?
A smart slave is a rebellious slave.
They don't want that.

This is why America is full of idiots

Problem is inflated salaries will float into top administrative positions in a bureaucratic structure like it does

Unionize

Public unions aren’t great

Because teachers don’t make ridiculous money?
