Clinton Urges Effort To Improve Struggling Schools

DURHAM, N.C. — Hillary Clinton made a pitch for public schools at a get-out-the-vote rally on Thursday, proposing to create a teaching task force that would recruit more young people and midcareer professionals to the country’s struggling public schools.

“I think public education needs some T.L.C.: Teaching, Learning and Community,” she told a rowdy crowd at Hillside High School, a predominantly black public school. “Thousands of teachers cannot make ends meet, are leaving the profession.”

1. The answer of course is to hire people who will work for less

It would seem that speech making is more lucrative than teaching.

4. Depends who you are.

I have never been paid much to speak. While many motivational or informational speakers will get paid more than teachers. Pay is a big part of the conversation but I'm not sure if their is a connection between speakers and teachers pay.
