Why pay the 8th or ninth highest wages to American teachers who are churning out students finishing 24th or 25th in STEM testing? Want better pay? Deliver a better result.B.See » 27 Feb 2022, 3:11 am » wrote: ↑ Thanks for pointing that out, OG. Because many on the right (as one did earlier in this thread), and even some on the left are quick to claim so much has been spent on education in the U.S.
In reality, when compared to other highly industrialized nations, teachers' salaries are (depending on which study you view) are in either eight or ninth place from the top salaried countries. In one of the world's richest countries.
And the same studies indicate that in order for teachers' salaries to match the highest paid salaries, they would have to INCREASE BY 40 TO 60 PERCENT.
Further proof (imo) that America doesn't REALLY give a flying about their kid's education.
And this whole phony CRT thing and the other attacks upon education from the right are essentially to achieve another goal of theirs. That being, the SAME people who lament "government handouts" want EXACTLY THAT.
They want VOUCHERS to send their kids to private and parochial schools for FREE.
