If you go down that road you're just going to get conservatives saying teachers should be paid what the market determines, which is why we're seeing people like Betsy DeVos who want education to be a competitive enterprise, another industrial sector for capitalists to collect rent from.
Of course that won't apply to their own districts (rural, suburbs), which will receive generous support. It's those other districts (urban) that are the problem!
Kind of like how the coal miners who lost their jobs to automation and natural gas need the government to take care of them, because they are overwhelmingly red voters, but it's a free market solution for everything else! Next on the socialist Republican sights: the logging industry-- fuck the free and unfettered flow of goods and services, we're going to smack a fat tariff on Canadian lumber. Socialism for my voters, the Jungle for yours.

Whats frustrating is that for some reason we listen to states that have the overal worst scoring educational systems in the country, tell the people from the states with the best educational systems in the country that they are wrong.. how long is this going to last?
How much more of my life do I have to pretend to be ignorant just to get along with half the country? We're going on 40 years of my life, what the fuck is it going to take for us to just stop being so emotional and start actually basing our decisions on reality?
