Hawaii Teacher's Salaries

[EightFingers]

I think the free compulsory education system in America is failing. There needs to be a better way of financing education. Teachers really do need better pay in some areas. One problem is bloated “administrative staff” that appears to offer no real “end product value”, that is a property educated child. Another problem is corruption in the school board itself. There also needs to be closer affiliation with employers and industry so schools can teach usable skills. STEM is great, but it’s only a start. Parents need to take an active role in the child’s education. A lot of them don’t and simply consider the school a place to dump their kid. I’ve seen a lot of that, even in my own family.
