It’s a Biblical principle. If you double a teacher’s pay scale, you’ll attract people who aren’t called to teach. To go in and raise someone’s child for eight hours a day, or many people’s children for eight hours a day, requires a calling. It better be a calling in your life. I know I wouldn’t want to do it, OK? And these teachers that are called to teach, regardless of the pay scale, they would teach. It’s just in them to do. It’s the ability that God give ‘em. And there are also some teachers, it wouldn’t matter how much you would pay them, they would still perform to the same capacity. If you don’t keep that in balance, you’re going to attract people who are not called, who don’t need to be teaching our children. So, everything has a balance.
Alabama State Senator thinks raising teacher pay is against the teachings of the Bible (via desertmar)

Who would have believed an Alabama Republican would have a sensible explanation of why our legislatures suck?
They pay too well, so they attract greedy people who shouldn’t be there.

And this is why the sheer number of teachers I know who vote Republican simply astounds me.
