...like double what most teachers make now. It is mind blowing to me that we would not want to attract the very best talent to develop the most successful kids on the planet. Many teachers are treated like crap.

I live in an area of high property taxes. The teachers are paid really well and given the tools they need. The school district attracts very talented teachers.

A couple of towns over, the tax base is less. Guess what happens.

Zip code funding of education is another version of segregation.
