It's no surprise, then, that the U.S. also lags the world in the proportion of students earning a college degree in technical fields.
so, if we are NOT turning out STEM degrees...where is the pool of qualified teachers going to come from ? Why pay more for bad STEM teachers ?
i'm thinking the shortest route to fill this gap, is to try and hire people from the private sector, since the writer wants to pay more for STEM teachers anyway, give it to the guys & gals who have been in the trenches for awhile.

“where is the pool of qualified teachers going to come from ?”
the same place that gave us Everyday Math and all of the other Piaget-inspired nonsense.
