Teachers have never been paid enough, nor respected enough in this country. It's very sad. Look at the the ridiculous demonization of teachers the Republican Governors decided upon last year at their convention, to enable them to try and privatize some aspects of government.
Probably why we don't get the high quality of teachers some other countries raise, that would get us into the top 25 in math, science and reading.
When are the lazy and entitled of this country going to wake up and realize that if you want to be in the Top Ten countries in math, science, reading, you have to work at it, you have to emphasize it, and that also costs money?

lazy and entitled wont ever wake up about anyhing...their laziness and sense of entitlement precludes that.
as for the teachers and their thought process....we somehow found money to pay more teachers when class size became the watchword...apparently now that is out the window. teachers bit hook line and sinker when their unions pushed for more teachers~unions benefittted, no one else. had teachers thought a bit, they might have siad no, wait. dont hire more~just pay us more. higher pay, more interest, more applicants, a better gene pool, thus better teachers and a better product.
