Re: “Teachers warn of the end of public education”

They don't have teachers unions in Texas and they still have tons of incompetent teachers. If you want to attract a better class of people into the teaching profession, you have to compensate teachers at a level that is on par with other professions. Conservatives call this throwing money at the problem but ignore the fact that they think money is the answer as long as it's confined to the private sector. Witness the obscene CEO compensation.
