Lets see your schools pay scale. He's an example from the district I used to work in, an upscale suburan district thats the 7th largest in state

after 16 years, the difference between a BA and MA+30 is 40%, thats pretty fucking considerable seeing how the majority of the excellent teachers I asked personally said the extra education meant nothing and THEY considered it bullshit too. ANd this sort of pay increase for education is pretty typical in my area.
Only 1 school district out of about 30 in the St. Louis area does merit based pay. They are in the top 3 performing wise in the state but recently just caved to switch back to education based pay.
