It has always worried me that teachers are the ones sacrificing for our children. Perhaps we need to double their wages but top out the annual increases at ten years. That would bring in more energetic young people but help the sclerosed ones move on. All of the professions you cite above do not require a college degree. Civil servants make more money that teachers. Corp. execs make tons more money. Many of those execs. and civil servants only have a 4 year degree. Unions are the problem for the situation you have described. The best teachers are paid according to years and education, just like the worst ones. CEOs with only a BS got there because the corporate world rewards performance. a lot of the good ones.....particularly the men and women with families.......leave because they need more money. The union is the problem. Pay for performance is the solution.
