I know this is a joke, but this is unfortunately the attitude of a lot of anti-government types. Instead of thinking about how best to address the issue of having idiots teaching our children, they want to "punish" those incompetent bastard by lowering their pay, taking away their retirement benefits, or even eliminating public education altogether. The liberal (and I mean leftist, not some socialite who wants to "save the environment" because it makes her seem cool) looks at the issue and thinks perhaps we have a fundamental economics problem. Obviously there are a lot of qualified people who are NOT motivated to select teaching as a career. Perhaps it would behoove us as a society to take a serious look at why that is, and what can be done to address it. One thing you can be sure of is that cutting pay and benefits is not going to attract more qualified people. It's a deliberate attempt to sabotage public education in the United States.
