> There's large swaths of Republicans that think public teachers are overpaid...it's mind-boggling. About that. Some of the best funded school systems and best paid teachers are in wealthy (republican) areas. Why? Wealth drives tax revenue, quality of teachers drives quality of school system, and quality of school ultimately causes that suburban McMansion to go up in value faster. In wealthy areas in my state (Indiana), charter and private schools flourish in impoverished, urban areas and public schools are extremely good in wealthy area.
