> A (good)public school teacher in America is woefully underpaid compared to the service they provide. They should be paid similar to doctors & nurses, imho.

The teachers unions would go on strike if you tried to pay teachers based on performance or supply/demand (paying a CS teacher more than a gym teacher). And there's no way the average teacher deserves any more money than they're making now.
