Teachers in Finland get paid less than American teachers, and Finland is usually at the top of international rankings in student testing.
Canadian teachers are among the best paid in the world, edged only by Switzerland and Germany. And since Alberta teachers make much more than the national average, Alberta teachers are probably the best paid in the world.

It would be interesting to see what teachers would be paid if it were left up to the market. When you consider the other options available to Canadians who major in Sociology, English, and Art History, I'm guessing it would be considerably lower.
