re: I am a conservative who believes the job of teaching is under paid

If teachers were paid free market rates the good ones would make an INSANE amount of cash. 

of course, every, single person currently in the teaching profession wouldn’t have a job in education - including those in private schools.

The education curriculum is a joke. I know friends in education who admit it.

When your profession

* is the fallback major for people who can't make it in other majors.

* is the fallback job for those who cant or are too lazy to make it in private industry.

* is flooded with young people (mostly women) willing to teach at 30K a year.

Then you have no incentive to pay them more.
