Hi EP,
"Raising teacher's pay doesn't produce better graduates to
any effective degree in the US"
That's backed up by various studies by business school profs.
The only thing is, these studies are done by intellectual prostitutes. Not only does the proposition defy common sense; I personally know several people who had to abandon their teaching careers because their family couldn't make ends meet. Bright people can make a better living than by teaching.
Another matter: where was the experiment of raising teacher's pay(in real terms, inflation adjusted) ever tried on a decent scale? Nowhere that I've ever heard of. Here in Toronto, where education is well funded compared to the US, the press still
trumpets a pay "raise" that just keeps up with inflation as
TEACHERS GET BIG RAISES news.
For every other good or service you get better by paying more but teaching is a bloody exception?
