There are likely some marginal teachers and even poor teachers, but with
a majority of teachers, you could give them a 50% pay increase and they
would still be underpaid. Here in the Dallas Independent (accept for the

administrative overhead. YIKES! (This is based on a report in the Dallas
Morning News).
