Kinda shoots the argument that paying teachers more would result in
better education.
Actually, the reason private / religious schools produce better
products is that they are allowed to exact discipline.
As a frequent temp, I have that luxury in the public school.  Students
act up, I throw them out.
"Where should I go" they ask.
"I don't care" I answer.
Then I get on with the task of the day to, usually, interested
students.
