I'd say there is a definite problem with teacher pay if there is high turnover and a significant number of them need 2nd jobs, but the general "problem of education" is something entirely different. Every metric we have of educational quality shows that per pupil expenditure has little correlation with good outcomes - the big urban areas with some of the highest expenditures often have much worse performance than many of their nearby suburbs spending less. Not every problem is solved by throwing money at it.
