Indeed Rauljara, if California introduced a system that rewarded teachers with a higher salary based on merit by targeting markers such as the quality of their teaching abilities, their ability to inspire their students, improvement in test scores and grades, etc., then California could attract and keep some highly talented and inspriring teachers.

One big caveat is that parenting standards in the home need vast improvement as well.
