What I mean to say is that if we would pay our teachers more, we would attract better teachers.
Indeed! I will have to agree with popa bar abba. A case and point is Torah Education. The fact that our schools and yeshivos are staffed largely by under-qualified teachers has destroyed the current generation and is set to destroy the next. Kindly refrain from making mention of a particular teacher whom you believe is qualified, as there are many. At the same time the basic laws of economics dictate that the field turns away the sharpest and most talented minds in our communities from pursuing such a career. If you are skeptical, my point will soon be proven at an Obama-care clinic coming to your neighborhood soon. We preach in public that we all care about Torah. Yet, we do not pay our teachers the same as public schools, and not nearly what parochial schools offer. This is a first class Chillul Hashem!
