The starting wage is very attractive, especially considering the low bar that is in place to qualify as a teacher.

Fixing the teacher shortage is a good argument for a wage increase. Not because it has merit but because few people will ask how increasing the salary a teacher with 20 years experience will cause young people (who cant even imagine being 30…. eww!) to take up the ‘profession’.

They will agree that to fix the starting wage 7.5% higher will attract more people to teaching and will simply ignore that this also means a teacher earning $85k a year will get an extra $4k.
