All politicians got where they are because of the teachers they encountered. So why is it so hard for them to consider that fact when deciding how much to pay teachers?
The current preschool project (“Plan plagued by teacher shortage,” Star-Advertiser, Feb. 24), is doomed if they can’t even admit that top-quality workers deserve top pay. If they can somehow manage that hurdle, then they must apply it to all other school levels.
Unless, of course, they’re happy with Hawaii being at the bottom of the scholastic ratings.
