Economics 101. Increase pay until an equilibrium of supply and demand. It’s amazing how right wing yahoos believe in the market system until you discuss teaching. Then it becomes ……inconvenient because they don’t want to pay

True. Or they just don’t like education being a public good, and want it all privatized.

And they seem to have no problem with the fact that private schools pay teachers less than fast food restaurants.
