<The way the free market works is a sort of lowest-price lowest-quality driver. Nobody seems to be able to pay for quality teaching anymore.
Not quite. The way the free market works is highest quality for the lowest possible price, with the balance between decided on an individual basis. In case you hadn't noticed, almost everything in America is cheaper and works better, or is more expensive and works a LOT better, than it did years ago. Computers especially.
Anyway, schools aren't exactly a free market right now. In a competitive school situation, the really good teachers would have headhunters falling all over themselves to hire them at top salaries.
