It's not "over" simplifying the problem, though. Pay based on seniority is politically untouchable and is not correlated with the true variation of quality in the teaching profession. Lack of correlation with pay and performance is the number one problem with incentivising better talent to apply itself to teaching. The profession looks basically like a ponzi-scheme in that regard (pyramid pay). It is a bizzare that government uses this model of compensation...does anyone know why? It is all throughout the many layered beuracracies...
