quote:Not necessarily. It could mean that the supply of teachers is so low that it's inflating teacher salaries.
It wouldnt be uncommon to say country which pays x for teachers cares more about education than country which pays x/2
Likewise, if the only metric you are using is salary, it could be argued that US teacher salaries are lower because there are a surplus of US citizens who aspire to be teachers, perhaps because our culture values education so highly.
That said, pre-college education in the US is largely a pile of shite. Particularly when it comes to preparing our kids for 21st century jobs. Coding and/or Data Science should be (at least) an elective option at every US High School

And because salaries are the result of CBAs, individual teacher's salaries are held back by the lowest common denominator.
For most teacher openings in my area, there will be at least 100 and as many as 400 applicants for a single job.
