I changed educator to education to better reflect what I meant. As far as I'm concerned, if you work in a school, you work in education.

And making that distinction doesn't make the situation any better. Even if every elementary school teacher is pulling that kind of pay (they are not), defunding another aspect of the school's ability to function is still an issue of a lack of respect for education in general - especially in America.

The very notion that a school system might lose employees to the local McDonald's over salary is a living nightmare for future generations.

Also, while I agree with your ideas, it is currently a challenge to find a bus driver that won't show up to work drunk or have some other issue. To say nothing of finding one that is also rated to work in a kitchen. I think a simpler solution is to properly fund the public school system and watch as most of the problems self-heal in response.
