And they should be paid well


no.....demand based only

if the supply of teachers is low, then raise wages.

Teaching should be a 4 year program that leads to direct entry level employment as a teacher. done.

I think for the first two years, its ok, but after the first two years they should get no subsidy.

we need philosophers, and english majors, they pull the best espresso. But we shouldn't be paying for it. We should offer scholarships for those studies though.

Under a plan like this, a long, long term mutual commitment, I would imagine a selective approach to educating the educators would be implored.

That would be the entire point of recruiting those of a higher cut to take on this task.

I would be willing to kick around the idea of serious teacher pay increases if it was somehow connected to work experience or superior academic performance at good schools.

As it is, and no offense to the many good teachers out there, there are a ton of mediocre candidates from mediocre schools with little to no real life experience competing for a limited number of jobs.

High paying professions factor in the cost of getting there. It takes money to become an investment banker or high end management consultant or big firm attorney, because you have to do well at really good schools. Getting to a good position as a teaching candidate doesn't cost much, and thus they don't have to offer those kind of wages.
