I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you want the best and brightest to be teachers then you have to recruit where the best and brightest are....and PAY what the best and brightest can get in the private industry. What's Apple, Google, Microsoft and Facebook paying? That's the competition.

South Korea, Singapore, and many other countries don't have this problem. Why? Because being a teacher there is a good job with good benefits. Benefits the private sector can barely touch. Instead we are left with the PE teacher teaching maths because all the good math teachers are working for Google.
