Taken to the extreme it means we should pay teachers NOTHING. Argumentum ad absurdum. > It's almost as if they weren't simply optimizing for a single factor like money or status. The people you want to be teachers never gave a shit about pay anyway. I fully admit this. They will actually do it regardless. When you say "pay them more" you're not going to improve education that way. If you could be honest and confess that you simply think they deserve more and that we should pay them more I'd have no way to argue against that... But such a point doesn't belong in a conversation about improving educational outcomes.
