In my situation, I did the work as well as I could and then used it to justify a pay raise for myself. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it didn't.
Ahh yes. Because teachers have the ability to negotiate pay raises for themselves.
Oh, they don't.
And you can say "that's the unions" or whatever. Cool. The 26 year old teacher doesn't give AF about the unions. But they do understand that in the private sector... harder work = better pay.
And when harder work isn't rewarded with better pay... you know what happens in the private sector? Employees leave.

I fully support anyone unhappy with their situation changing it to better suit their wants and needs.
Public education is not designed to make the vast majority of employees wealthy. I imagine there are plenty people getting paid way too much, which is another issue, but when your income comes from tax payers, many of whom don't even use public schools, and you have 3.5 million teachers to pay, excluding administrators, what exactly do you expect? You're not working in a revenue generating industry. Nor are you in one with a particularly high barrier to entry, as far as professions go.
