I think good teachers are underpaid.

Teachers have the hardest and most important jobs in America. They're building our nation. And we should appreciate them, respect them, and pay them well.

Teachers are our greatest public servants; they spend their lives educating our young people and shaping our Nation for tomorrow.

Our teachers are valuable, and our public policy should reflect that.

To get enough of the teachers we need, teaching has to be a great job where talented people are supported and rewarded.

Few things are more important to our country's future than recruiting and keeping great teachers in our schools.

Teachers are expendable, overworked, underpaid, and many times disrespected by students, parents and higher-ups. Nonetheless, these teachers still show up because there are some who are teachers indeed.

Great teachers should be rewarded.

I am deeply concerned with the diminution of the teaching strength of the country as a result of the disproportionately low salaries that are paid to teachers throughout the country.
