what's really sad is, it's been like this for decades. when i was in highschool in the US in the 80s i was told that teachers salaries were very low.
now i had fantastic and very motivated teachers, and at that time i concluded that the low salary would help select for teachers that really believe in their work, and weed out those who are in it just for the money.
but paying less than a living wage is likely only attract the desperate who can't get a better job.
