Teachers are non productive citizens? No, they're productive -- more productive than Walmart shelf stockers but less productive than nurses. So you don't need to screw around with the payscale. Teachers, you must remember, have short work hours and a short work year, and the market is flooded with moms who want their summers off and flexibility with respect to their kids. Many teachers make excellent money while having the entire summer off and working short, five or six hour days. There is no reason they should be paid what, for example, a nurse, is paid. And if a nurse complains about being paid, a Nurse Anesthetist with 20 years of experience can easily make $200K or more, so even as an RN with one additional year of education, a person can make a reasonable income if he chooses to do so. When one enters the teaching field, he/she should be fully aware that the market for teachers is such that they aren't going to be highly paid. If a teacher wants to make more money, he just needs to improve his/her skills -- become a university professor or use his skills to do something else. People choose different work for a variety of reasons. Compensation is one of them. We don't need liberals trying to insure that everyone is paid the same amount of money.
