I agree with your point in this thread. Teachers in Finland, for example, are highly respected (like doctors in the US). They're highly trained, highly paid, highly trusted, and they really do a great job. I wish that were the case in the US -- but we'd be talking about overhauling an entire profession, not merely increasing wages. I do think increased wages would be a great idea, but I think it would take more than that to achieve what Finland has achieved.
