I agree with you completely about teacher pay. BTW, teachers in private schools make more and it probably wouldn't surprise you that they are more capable teachers. I went to private schools when I was growing up and the education I received was top notch. Most of my teachers had at some point in their career been university professors. So they were stacked with good teachers. Public schools can't bid high for teachers, so they are stacked with low quality teachers.

I wish market dynamics was the whole solution for our schools, but I have a big problem with that because it will widen the rich/poor divide by making sure only rich people get the best education. On the other hand, the same is true now. Only rich people can afford to send their kids to private schools and they get a better education. Anyway, complicated problem and I have no solutions, except to say that I wish I received school vouchers so that I could send my kids to private schools, like my parents did for me.
