Come on. These people aren't uneducated hicks off the street, and if they were, I wouldn't be sending my kids to public school. Most of them have enormous student loan debts from the education that qualifies them to teach.

Comparing teaching salaries to entry-level unskilled-labor jobs is flat out retarded. Compare teaching salaries to the salaries of other jobs that require a Master's degree, and then we can talk about equity.
you DO NOT need a masters to teach elementary school.

"education" majors are the only majors anyone ranks beneath psychology majors or business majors.

you really don't need a four year degree to teach, we just force them to pretend they do.
