I have a theory, that the liberation of women has been a prime factor in the failure of public schools.
Once upon a time the most intelligent and competent women became school teachers, it was the hight of success for an intelligent women. Now ambitious intelligent women become doctors, lawyers, business leaders etc etc. It was the way our society was ordered.
The gene pool of teachers has now decreased.
Now before all you wackos get all crazy,
This makes a lot of sense, actually. The curriculum for teachers is already adjusted with watered-down subjects like "math for teachers".
The answer is to raise the pay to get more of the brightest back in the profession. But the taxpayers are already aggrieved.
The education establishment is pretty terrible. The right wingers, like who authored this link, are off base complaining that it's some liberal agenda. It isn't. It's about control. The educrats came up with this to guard their profession. Note that universities have resisted it.

If you want teachers of a certain quality, not all disciplines are equally difficult to attract. The simple fact is, a solid High school calculus teacher is harder to attract at a given salary than a high school art teacher.
There is literally zero reason that if you figure out that you need to pay 25% more to attract good calc teachers that you also give the art teacher a 25% pay raise. You already have a line around the building of those guys trying to get hired(not, these are examples and art is not the only example of easy less difficult disciplines to attract)
