Not at all. As a parent I have limited choice in who my kids teachers are. Where I lived I didn't even get a choice of schools. But the market is clearly there

Not at all. As a parent I have limited choice in who my kids teachers are. Where I lived I didn't even get a choice of schools.
But the market is clearly there - plenty of people here pay $25-$30k/year for private school. With a small class size of 10-15 students that's $250k-$450k/year.
On top of that most people here pay maybe $10-$15k to schools via property tax. So that's another $100k-$150k.

There are already metrics for teacher performance (at its crudest: What's the average grade going in and out of the teacher's class?) which could be used to determine salary. (And maybe it is in some places.)
