Overall, should teacher salaries in the US be increased?

Agree with R1997 on the stress of being a doctor, aside from GP's. I hardly think that the huge stress of talking to old people and reasoning with people begging for antibiotics is comparable with the unenviable life of an inner-city teacher.

As for teachers definitely paid more. Perhaps I'm biased, as my dad and paternal grandparents (and a large number of family members) are in the profession. But the money paid to teachers is an investment into the future. It's no different to an individual placing their savings into an ISA. I agree with politicus in that lousy teachers shouldn't be kept on the books though.
