 Teachers in dangerous, lousy school districts should get a special form of hazardous duty pay, and a different incentive system which allows them to make bonuses at lower goals, since that's the reality of the situation.  The market demands we pay top dollar to those people, and they deserve it.  We should allot our tax dollars in that direction above all else, since that's the real engine of our future prosperity, and would go far further toward social parity the Democrats seem to want than their idiot do-gooder programs which blow 70% of every dollar on administration costs for fattened bureaucrats.

  But education is generally funded by property taxes, so how do we pay teachers in what will generally be more impoverished areas more than we pay those in richer areas?
