Sorry Plotinus. Irony is hard to get on boards sometimes.
I would add that treating teachers as professionals (IE., would this fly with my lawyer ? My family doctor? My cpa ?) would go a long way. Sometimes it seems as if they’re considered as if they didn’t have a college degree. As much as salary, respect/public consideration would be nice.
(note that I’m not a teacher but I do see a correlation between public consideration and students choosing a profession. When a kid has a 4.0 and we treat their professional goal as relevant or ridiculous or disclosing, even if they’re 7, it plays a role in what jobs they’ll consider appropriate.)
