RE:"Society gets what it pays for, and our schools suck in this country."

Not necessarily. Throwing more money at education will only help is spent properly.

RE:" In Japan, teaching is considered one of the highest professions. In the US, we treat teachers as babysitters"

Several problems you don't address with your maniacal statement.
1. Teachers work 10 months a year. Naturally their pay seems less.
2. Way too much money is wasted on building and supporting ivory towers full of school administrators. Along with high pay and pensions. They should be in the classrooms as teachers or helping the teachers or be eliminated.
3. New schools should be built to a standard architecture.
Savings would be enormous.
