My children’s teachers in Elementary school have indeed been little more than exceptional babysitters. They are worth perhaps $20/hr. They can afford their own health insurance out of that. Pensions? Let them open an IRA like the rest of us.

If king for a day, I would eliminate “Education” degrees - one of the most irrelevant degrees today. I want a teacher with a major in a real subject matter (science, math, English, etc) and not a degree in “how to teach”.

I've read articles that entrants into “education” colleges are in the lowest 25% percentile - so the kids are being taught by the lowest intelligent grads.
