This is the first time I’ve heard a semi-logical argument against paying teachers more. It is kind of interesting. read on:
PiezoCuttlefish says:
Teachers are paid little not because the job is of little importance, but it is vitally important that we keep the best and the brightest in the field and out of teaching positions. The low pay simultaneously ensures that the only people who teach are those that really want to do so, and also that the people who can, do. It is said that the world is run by C students. Would you rather it run by D students? Pay teachers $50,000 and the C students will become teachers. Pay them $75,000, the B students; $100,000, the A students. And while our future may then appear bright, our buildings will collapse on our head, our F-16s will crash into the ocean, and in general Bad Things will happen.
