Teaching should be one of the most well compensated professions out there. It is literally the single most important investment a society can make. It is insane to me that we are cheaping out on it. It is in teaching where people should be competing to get the positions. An astronaut should be paid less and have less prestige. Of course we want our best and brightest teaching our population.

America could solve allot of its societal problems by just swapping its military budget with its public education budget.
