A nation that ceases to invest in its citizens, its teachers, its children, will remain stagnant, on a downward path, intellectually, socially, etc. A nation of ignoramuses provides fertile soil for the emergence of tyrants and tyrannical structures.  Not to invest in teachers in this nation -- whether at the private or public level -- is a grave mistake, one that has begun to impact civic engagement, basic numeracy and literacy proficiency levels, critical thinking and creativity, and the fundamental sense of citizenry and signers to this social contract of DEMOCRACY.

So, please as the discussion continues, try not to focus on symptoms of the problem of education in the United States, be courageous and delve deeper, challenge the status quo that deprives so many of our nation's children and their educators a world-class education and fair, healthy working conditions, respectively.

This.  The argument that teachers get what they deserve because they should have known the pay sucks and they'll be treated horribly ignores the fact that it is in all of our best interests to have a well-educated citizenry, and that we all benefit when our neighbor's and fellow countrymen and women do well.
