>> Let's see.........teachers make less than other professionals;

They make less than some, but far more than others. But their jobs are for a fraction of the work and are far less demanding. And, as I pointed out last week, almost impossible to get fired from. So, they SHOULD be paid less, and a lot less than they are.

I want schools to be run effectively and cost-effectively, like successful businesses. I want the employees, particularly teachers, to be held accountable for their actions and held to standards professionals are held to. And they should be paid based on performance; lousy teachers shouldn't get to stick around.

But, as Michelle Rhee showed in DC, it is exceedingly difficult to do because of parents who don't demand more of teachers.
