Tim,

Based on the quality of the kids coming out of the schools, it seems pretty obvious that most of the teachers are not qualified to teach.

Low pay is the primary reason for this unfortunate situation. Almost every good teacher I ever met has moved on. The exceptions are generally teachers who don't need to work for a living.

The supply for people that can design good microprocessors is much lower then the supply of people that are qualified to teach.

Tim,

That's not true. For an example, there is a shortage of teachers here in Seattle but salaries are not going up, and least, not significantly.

Values are placed on the importance of chip designers vs teachers. So far, chip designers rule.

As Scumbria stated, its a reflection of our priorities.
