U.S. found to recruit fewer teachers from top ranks

This seems pretty obvious, if we would pay teachers more like in some of the TOP performing schools in other countries then we would have better teachers who would be able to produce better results with the kids. I think we have good teachers but for many pay could be a factor as to why they leave or over time become, possibly, less imaginative in the classroom. It is amazing and just simply inspiring that in Finland "Teaching is the most admired profession among top students, outpolling law and medicine." It also is interesting  that they have more time to collaborate in other countries. It says here that we spend more time on instruction, yet with less results. Interesting. The counter argument by Dr. Zhoa was interesting too but claiming our system is just more complicated I hope does not negate some of the other observations.
