Most people get the economics of teachers' pay wrong.

They say teachers are highly competent, qualified people who work hard and deserve more pay.

If it is true that teachers are generally good, then they are paid appropriately to attract highly competent, qualified, hard working people to do the job.

Ironically, it is because teachers are so highly valued by our culture that they are not highly economically compensated.

Apparently, there are non-economic incentives to work as a teacher.

If you think a lot of teachers are complete clowns, then teachers are probably not compensated appropriately.

So, if teachers aren't paid enough then a lot of teachers should be fired and replaced with superior candidates.
