I just ran across an interesting video from CNN about teacher salaries. Usually these debates offer no real insight into the problem but this one was different.

Education reform is a big deal right now with almost everybody weighing in.  I ignore most of it because it’s like the blind men trying to describe an elephant.  Everybody focuses in on one and only one aspect and says if that aspect is fixed, education is fixed. I’ve got news for all these “reformers”  [...]
