In my world I’d adopt the West Wing teacher philosophy: competition to be a teacher should be fierce and pay should start at six figures. You all are literally shaping the world’s future and yet many teachers I know have to purchase their own supplies and deal with thick headed administrators that place politics over pedagogy.
I teach at university level. Fixed positions are few and far between, pay is okay (if you somehow forget all the seniority you need to get to this positions), number of teaching hours is very high, there is no incentive to teach well. One of the results is that you are not selected for being a good teacher, but for the other components of your cv.

Thanks for what you do. I appreciate your work.
