Why not pay teachers $100,000?
As American kids head back to school, columnist Daniel Pink makes the case for paying teachers more money. High-quality teachers, he argues, significantly improve student learning, so shouldn’t they be paid as much as somebody assessing insurance premiums on your car? Plus, humor columnist Alexandra Petri discusses sending her child to school for the first time.
This essay by Daniel Pink is part of a year-long project with Washington Post Opinions called “Why Not?” Check out some of the other columns in his series:
Why not ban left turns on busy streets?
Why not shake up the Olympics?
Why not overhaul America’s national holidays?
Why not require a civics test as a rite of passage for all Americans?
