If you paid $200k to start, you would probably get better teachers even under our current system. Which isn't to say the difference would be enormous, or the policy cost-effective. If you paid $200k to the best teachers, a less amount to more ordinary teachers, and fired the worst teachers then you would probably get better results at less cost, then just paying $200k to all teachers. If you allowed for more competition in the education system, whether by greatly reducing the role of government, or changing the role to providing funding for vouchers, and generally removing barriers to improvement and barriers to market forces working, then you would probably get still better results, or possible similar results for less money.
