Teachers are paid well now, but many are still leaving because of how bad it has
become to deal with all the headaches.
I could tell you stories for hours about how stupid education has become...from an administrative standpoint. If we really cared about having the best teachers, we would need to only do three things:
1) Pay strong, competitive wages to ensure the best candidates apply,
2) Kill the unions, so that the bad teachers can be shown the door,
3) Hold students accountable for behavior:
a) If they sluff and fail classes, they can do summer school or repeat the grade.
b) If they behave inappropriately in school, suspend them...obviously based on the severity of the infraction.
We have gotten too soft on everyone and are afraid to hold anyone accountable for their decisions. It is costing us big-time.

It’s amazing how to well the unions have pulled off the lie that there’s no way to measure teachers’ effectiveness

Subs in my district make between $20-21/hour. That's still a couple of bucks an hour above the fast food joints.

Any teachers’ wage needs to be multiplied by ~1.2 to reflect that they work less than the average job

I can't speak for all districts, but my wife teaches in Nebo and the starting pay has definitely gotten better through

Here is the steps and lanes pay scale for teachers in Nebo School District. Steps are the amount of years you have

30 years in with a Master degree can get you there. Throw in a few stipends for extra responsibilities at your school,
