[quote=CA renter]But let’s get back to the nuts-and-bolts of the issue. The #1 expense in education is teacher compensation. (DUH!!!!)
If you want to reduce class sizes, increase the availability of classes at the secondary level and at junior colleges, etc., then the obvious result is higher teacher compensation because they ONLY way to do that is to increase the number of teachers. Again, DUH![/quote]
I thought the administrative cost is pretty high up there too?
FYI, no one say teachers should get paid less. I think great teachers should get paid a lot more while bad teachers should be fired quickly. It’s really not that complicated. Just look at every other private organization for example. The status quo is… bad teachers will get paid just as much as good teachers. Sometimes, a lot more if the good teachers are young and the bad teachers are old. That’s is as ass backward as it gets.
