The possible fixes include, better pay, better pay and better pay.

I don't care if they are on the higher end nationally, teachers have not had a significant raise in a decade and inflation is running at 10% a year and their health insurance contributions have increased by about the same.

Their real take home pay has declined as the demands on them have only increased.

Once we get that figured out, then we can talk about working conditions.

You can argue all you want about whether they "deserve" better pay, but you will continue to see less and less teachers and qualifications continue to decline.
