I agree with you guys on the compensation issue. This brought me back to the movie “Waiting for Superman”. What I remembered was, Michelle Rhee offered the teachers to have their average pay increase to about $120k from ~$70k, if they would agree to remove their tenure. Which would allow her to fire the bad teacher. The teacher union refused to even let the teachers vote. So, in essence, they rather protect the bad teachers from being fired instead of helping the good teachers get paid more.
