Teachers don't need to be paid more. The big education unions are looking to raise teacher salaries so that there is more money for their labor agenda.
Everyone knows teachers aren't paid well, especially in comparison to their importance. The reality is that teacher pay has decreased by more than 3% over the past 10 years when adjusted for inflation. We will soon face the largest wave of teacher retirements ever, and younger teachers are leaving the classroom at alarming rates. This is a market-based society. Salaries have to be competitive. Surveys show that teachers are less likely to leave schools with competitive pay.
