I don't really give a #### if teachers make up to 90 or even 100k, that's fine. From a salary perspective they're most probably worth it.
It's the:
-guaranteed incredible cushy retirement (absolutely world class pension)
-complete absence of any job risk
that make being a teacher worth it.
Also, I am quite comfortable paying teachers well. I think usually most of them deserve it, you probably get better quality people doing it, and educating youth is obviously extremely important as I sit here observing what is happening in the United States...
My ONLY comment would be we need to have better mechanisms to incentivize or be able to fire the bad ones.
