People always quote average teacher salaries, but teachers get paid based on experience, with time in grade. The average teacher in Texas makes about 48k, but I didn't make nearly that. Most I made was 38. There are 50-60 year olds making over 50k but that doesn't do much to recruit new teachers.
Having done both, I'd rather work in a prison than teach, considering how small the pay raise is to go back to teaching. If you want to pay teachers less, go ahead. They already don't have job security in this state and their benefits get worse every year. There are a ton of them retiring right now. If people don't care who replaces those teachers, they'll get what they pay for.
