Paying teachers more won't work.


Couldn't we at least try it for a decade and see what happens?


In the past, we
paid top wages to sailing instructors. We still
ended up with some lazy, crappy instructors. The
good instructors would work for less.
Same with teachers. The really good ones don't
teach for the money. Most that I know would
continue even if you cut their pay in half. I
think you know some like that.


Shhhhhhh, keep that under your hat.
