And should there be a cap on how much that can get paid?
How much is a teacher worth in your opinion?
So far the Conservative responses seem to lean towards the rich neighborhoods having the best teachers as they can afford it.
No actual dollar amount mentioned...interesting.
Let's see what else comes out.

I take it you count yourself amongst the "thinking people", so please...share with us all those factors you speak of.So far the Conservative responses seem to lean towards the rich neighborhoods having the best teachers as they can afford it.

thats because thinking people know there are plenty of factors involved in pricing salaries.

There are markets for labor. You are trying, and failing, to insinuate that teachers are somehow exempt and have some fixed, empirical value.
They don't.
The whole idea of "we have to know what we can pay before we give you an amount" in the two posts above is poppycock. Sorry, but it is.
I agree that a school has to stay within its budget. No argument there...but you're looking at things backwards. If the value of the work of a teacher is X...and you hire 5 teachers making it 5x to pay them...just because your budget is 4x doesnt mean you reduce what you pay. You up the budget.
I'm not for wild spending or spending "too much"...but if you dont pay teachers a living wage or what they are worth...then you're going to get CRAPPY teachers since you dont pay them what they're worth.
That's been the problem for too long. We're getting bad teachers because they dont get paid enough. And people wont pay more because they see the craptastic teachers we have now. So it's an endless circle of fear and non-payment.

So tell me. How exactly do you pull money out of your ass? I mean clearly thats what you are suggesting people do.
You have budgets for a reason.

I do consider myself amongst thinking people. I also consider myself amongst the literate people. That may be something you'd like to join because if you were already a member, you'd have noticed that I alread did.
