It's a tough job so why not offer a golden 'hello'.
Yes, there's the twelve week holidays to recover from stress. But just think, would you really want to stand up every day in front a class up big hairy 10 or 11 year old teenagers (and I am including the girls in that).
You can't sack the bad ones until you know you can replace them with good ones. Good teachers can command a higher salary; why not, it happens in all other professions?
Perhaps you are calling for something more radical - fewer teachers, a much shorter school day, but higher quality - it could work.
Hey, Why not do both.
