Demonstrating how ignorant many teachers are about economics, they tend to keep going to this worn out well of comparison with pro athletes. (funny they never compare to liberal news anchors or movie stars, but that’s another story).
It’s a false choice. People are paid based on the demand for their services and on how rare their ability is. The ability to teach is, I’m sorry, just not that rare. There is plenty of supply for the demand. There is constantly a shortage of excellence at every NFL position. False choice. It’s called economics.
Pro athletes are the elite of the elite of the elite in their chosen profession. Teachers statistically come from the lowest achieving academic student populations.
Watching the Tiger game today and head the comment that with every win Justin Verlander gets, Mike Ilitch clutches his wallet a little tighter. LOL
You pay for that kind of performance or you lose it. Few teachers can achieve that kind of success but they would have a far better chance without their union. Teachers should be contractors and they’ll get paid what they’re worth.
