——I think the problem is this BS that somehow teaching is more important work than other careers, its not.-—
You have a point. But it depends on the objective importance of the subject matter (theology/philosophy v. Hotel management) and the receptivity of the learner. Aristotle, as a teacher, would be worth his weight in gold.
But payment for education should never be coerced. Schooling is not synonymous with education, and is often antithetical. Socrates even believed that the professionalization of teaching would obstruct good teaching. Compulsory schooling and compulsory funding of schooling are unjust. Vouchers would be a step in the right direction.
I agree but vouchers will never just happen. It will take total commitment to eliminating public education. Vouchers would mean the end of public schools. If people, by choice, could receive a voucher for private schools instead of paying school taxes they would do so in numbers that would financially break the government system. It would also make it obvious to those that don't have kids that they should not have to pay property taxes to pay for schools when the aren't using the system.
If we just put an end to government involvement in education all the other problems will solve themselves. Good teachers and schools will be paid well and bad teachers won't be teachers. Perpetual property taxes to pay for bloated government waste can be eliminated and be a huge step for the reinstatement of the right to own private property.
