I strongly believe that the two most important things we should supply to our society is health care and education. Health care to keep us alive, and education to give us a reason to live (poetically speaking).
In other countries (Japan, Korea, Finland, etc.), being a teacher is one of the most honorable professions available. In the United States, teachers are one of the most loudly vilified.
Education is the key to improving your life. Even if an individual realizes early that they don't want to go far in academia, having the best education possible will still prepare them for life better than a worse education.
In order to discover medical breakthroughs, create cool new gadgets, and in general increase the quality of life for citizens, a good education is vital.
Teachers have a demanding job and do it as a labor of love. Shouldn't our kids be taught by the brightest and best available? If the compensation teachers received was comparable to doctors, the quality of teachers would undoubtedly increase as the field became more competitive. Many teachers today don't stay in the field too long because they don't feel well appreciated or well compensated.
EDIT: Okay, people seem to think that my statement is akin to teachers being equal to doctors. Or that for some reason I don't value doctors and want them to be paid less. Or that the factor is that the amount of time spent on education is equal to the required compensation. First, I value doctors an extreme amount. I'm diabetic and in my doctor's office all the time. As I originally stated, I believe education AND HEALTH CARE are the most important things our society provides. So yes doctors = good. If the time spent was a factor, here's the way that should work: a teacher with a master's degree - 5 to 6 years of education. Doctor - ten years of education (I don't know for sure, so clarify if necessary). So if a doctor spends twice as much time getting their education, should they then make twice as much as teachers? That would put a starting doctor salary around 90k. My point here is that the amount of time spent on your personal education doesn't guarantee anything in real world earning power.
