That's a very unique choice of phrasing. Why not, "Pornstar paid hush money from habitual adulterer loses appeal of defamation suit"

This entire saga is a stain on the presidency and an embarrassment to the country.

lots of people not reading the data correctly. higher paying districts will grab the best applicants, but raising pay across the board wont have the same 1:1 relationship.

in other words fewer good teachers will enter the field that otherwise wouldnt teach than the pay raise intends. and you'll just be paying bad teachers more. the issue is teachers unions which have removed market forces from the equation in many places.

ummm, it says so right in the article you linked:

As for why higher teacher salaries lead to improved academic outcomes, the researchers speculate that increased pay attracts higher-quality candidates, boosts retention, and heightens morale and enthusiasm for the job.

while that still means that a general pay raise wouldn't be reflected one to one in test scores, it'd still improve education overall, and likely turn bad or mediocre / unmotivated teachers into better ones - and not "just be paying bad teachers more":

Prior research has shown that increased teacher salaries prompt higher quality students to seek careers in education. Additional pay also lowers teacher turnover, keeping talented, experienced teachers in their jobs and resulting in more educator continuity for students, which builds trust between teacher and pupil.

i phrased that poorly, i got the article from redit where many of the posters were making poor conclusions based on the headline.

in many places bumping teachers pay 10-15% still wont draw enough applicants IMO to justify it. making incentive based pay bonuses/raises in a district level would im sure be more helpful. the issue are the unions, the district can be short 10 spec ed teachers, and have 40 applicants for the 1 gym teacher job, and the union will never allow them to offer more pay for the spec ed job outside of their rubric.

teaching is a rewarding profession with insane medical benefits and a great pension plan. but a slight bump wont change that.
