Teachers should be paid more given the stringent requirements to become a teacher. Why get a B.A., additional training, and certification only to be paid 30-35k? I wouldn't. Talented, intelligent people wish to be financially rewarded for their work. Teaching shouldn't be limited to those who have a "calling", but rather should speak to those with ability.
I think "leadership by example" is important in any position of that stature. However, I believe he is ignoring what is fundamentally wrong with the public education system in the United States. We are currently supporting a communist form of wage distribution among our public school faculty nation-wide. Throwing money at the issue won't solve it. It might relieve economic hardship among some teachers, but it will not benefit our students one bit. Fix the system!
Now that is what I call merit-pay.
