Nahman Jayden, Eff bee eye. I herd that you're the origammy killah...

Because they want money that goes farther then it already does. Their paycheck should remain the same, honestly. They are easily replacable tools, afterall. It really depends on how much the area around them costs to live in. It shouldn't be so low it deters them, yet not too high so it doesn't attract unwanted teachers.
EDIT: Veteran teachers should get a nice bonus though. Keeps them invested at what they enjoy doing. And teachers unions don't help either.

Well I don't know how much I personally can contribute here, but a friend of mines mother is actually a special education teacher, and she, along with all the other teacher went through 3 or 4 pay cuts that year alone. I don't think it's so much they want more, it's that they want what they were getting paid before pay cuts.

I think teachers should be payed on their performance. This would be tricky for non-standardized classes though.

There are some amazing teachers who are new, and some amazingly bad teachers who have been there a while. I don't see how it's fair for the latter to have the advantage.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Because many teachers are at or below the poverty line.

Oh, I'm sure someone will pull up an instance, or better yet, know someone who's being paid OK, but the vast majority get paid peanuts.

Teacher is kind of a unique job and can't be compared to other occupations so easily.

They educate the next generation, so it's kind of important.

I know I get paid well above average for a teacher.

Regular teacher pay needs to be addressed - yes. The teachers who REALLY need better pay are special ed teachers.
