Like most things, if you want better employees, try paying them more. The problem is that most school districts are already upside down so they want to pay as little as possible and cut costs. We really need to get rid of tenure but given the current climate, all teachers would be fired after five years to hire new graduates. We need a complete system overhaul. Helping teachers get loans in super expensive markets doesn't fix our problems and I agree with you that it actually makes it worse.
