...increase in performance with pay may not be sustainable. Rather, more fundamental changes must be made, such as raising teachers’ salaries. For the amount of time they spend in the classroom, creating lesson plans, grading homework, and working to make sure their students succeed, teachers are grossly underpaid and underappreciated.

But in schools where the teachers are underpaid, the classrooms are overcrowded, and students are more focused on earning money for basic necessities than their studies, it is frivolous to cite the destruction of the culture of knowledge as a counterargument to this type of solution. In New York City last year, less than one percent of black...
