Reason we have shitty teachers is because it doesnt pay and it isnt a sexy job.
I read an article in yesterday's NYT about the lack of black teachers in K-12 schools in America. The article could have been a word by word reprint from the same articles from 30 years ago.
The dynamic is the same today as it was then. If you're a black guy with a college degree from a good school and you have the acumen to teach HS English Lit at a good school you could make triple the salary in private sector businesses because they can compete with any school district in America.
This applies to whites in STEM fields but that's more narrow.
