I agree with you on the last part, education should be the last thing cut. We put too little emphasis on education in this country. We are mediocre at best, and we seem to be comfortable there. Very sad, we need to improve things quickly or the cost will be enormous.
Our larger problems are more difficult than teachers though. Actually, more than money as well. We don't really value education enough. I see people form other cultrue all the time making great strides here. it isn't the education; it's the effort. With great students, we're all great teachers.
Now don't get me wrong. We need good teachers. And too few even enter the profession. As I've noted, I know places where police captians and retired folk are trying to fill the gap of not having anyone to teach.
