Oh, ok, you are arguing in favor of low salaries for teachers.  Why do you think low salaries for teachers are a good thing?[/quote]

- 8 - 12 weeks of leave a year
- 5 - 6 hour mandated work days 
- Non-specialized educational achievements (minus the one Chemistry teacher with an MSc)
- Repetitive job performance[/quote]

So you think that low salaries for teachers are a good thing because you have a low opinion of teaching.

Do you think that more well-qualified people might consider teaching as a career if teaching paid more, or is that not important to you?[/quote]

No.

Well-qualified people want to be challenged. They also want to be rewarded. That's something the county boards across this country could never offer in sufficient remuneration.

Get the kids their local education then send them off to trade school or college or to work as the staff of the local business for experience. Rinse and repeat. [/quote]

It's not important to have well-qualified teachers. Gotcha.[/quote]

Reducing your comments to simplistic petulance isn't going to win anyone over to your side. As exemplified well by a 9-day walkout that got the teachers exactly nothing.

Why don't you convince us why the [i]students[/i] need higher paid teachers? The subject matter won't change.[/quote]
