The pay is not the problem in most districts. Teacher pay is enough that getting a job at all but a few problem districts is pretty competitive. It also rewards extra degrees that have little if any value in more effective teaching.
The system is setup very defensively to protect the problem teachers from responsibility.
- whyenot 10y ago> The pay is not the problem in most districts. It seems like it is less of a problem than it used to be. The biggest issue is that the districts with failing schools (who need the best, most experienced teachers) tend to be the districts least able to recruit those kinds of teachers. > The system is setup very defensively to protect the problem teachers from responsibility. The same system also protects the good teachers from problem parents and administrators.
