Well, this is a question of opinion.
Anyway, the teacher as we know it isn't supported equally throughout different regions of the United States. First, we know that the teacher's pay grade is relatively low. To me, and to a lot of teachers, it is extremely low for someone who is responsible for propelling educated individuals into the important jobs. In fact, we see now that the schools are losing funding and we see that their average student GPAs are relatively low. The average GPA for a student back in 2016 was 2.6.
The government should increase the teachers pay wage and prioritize the education department more. The reason the education department should be more prioritized is because a lot of schools in the US don't have the money to pay for the amount of teachers they need. For example the funding of schools in Louisiana is bad (I know this because I lived there) and we can see how bad it is. Our unfortunate school that should be the example is the Southwest Louisiana Charter Academy. Southwest has very good K-3 interaction with teachers and young students. However, higher grades (the worst being 7 and 8) have very bad facilities. The school prioritizes it's looks over the effectiveness of the teacher which is why the teachers who are for higher grades have trouble keeping the students in check. My teacher didn't care about whether or not we learned anything because not only was she paid very little, but the school was teaching subjects that a student in Wyoming would have learned in 3rd grade. In 7th grade the school was having students learn decimals still.
Just taking a look at my experience as well as the ratings of the school, we can see that it is not only poorly funded by the county (called a parish in Louisiana) government but the teachers also don't really care about many of the students.
The government should fund schools more and schools should be taught better facility budgeting.
