In the New York Times a piece by Nicholas Kristof points out that in those nations which are doing best, like Singapore and South Korea, teachers are paid more than lawyers. In those nations, teachers are highly respected and paid better than lawyers and engineers. In the U.S. a good starting lawyer takes home $115,000 more than a good starting teacher. No lawyer can set you up for life. A good teacher can. By not paying enough to teachers and too much to legal vultures, shoddy local politicians and financial drones we are mortgaging our children’s future. Of all the things I do, training is by far the most valuable.
