New teachers need to start out in the mid 30's and go up from there. Laws should be enacted to keep schools from getting rid of teachers every few years in favor of hiring new lower paid teachers.
There are lots of things wrong with the system.
My son can take his degree and make 20 grand more working in the corporate world.

I detoured into the corporate world for awhile and made A LOT more than teaching. Of course I only had 1 week of vacation.......
More pay would definitely be a plus for teachers, but in my case (and my co-workers) it wasn't our motivating factor. The women marry doctors and lawyers and then don't need to worry!
In the case of a main bread winner though, teacher's pay isn't going to cut it after all the schooling you put in.
I'm about to invest $3,000 more into my education degree just to work part-time. Oh well...........
