If you want good teachers to work in ghettos, gang infested areas, broken down and poorly maintained schools, almost no resourses in those areas, well guess what, pay in those areas will have to be greatly increased. Would you teach in a place like that for the same pay or more you could get in a nice sleepy 'burb? Graft and corruption in many large city areas like LA drive out the good teachers. Lots of jobs in the 'burbs and small cities that pay well and teachers are not blamed for or expected to cure every social ill.
