If enough teacher leave, maybe we'll start to pay them more

Nah, the only people that will still be teaching will be ideological extremists and people that want to hang out with children for other reasons.

Oof...you're probably right to a degree. And that will make culture war polarization even worse when it comes to what is taught in public schools. It will be a sad state of things, when the majority of teachers are mere activists.

As I understand it, the problem with teacher pay is with corruption in the school system, not the schools themselves not getting enough money. They have plenty of money, but they're still not paying their teachers well.

I've had the opposite experience. I left my job in fast food management in 2017 to pursue better options and it ended up being the most expensive mistake of my life. I was making $24/hr. I was self sufficient. I haven't made anywhere near as much since. The grass is always greener on the other side, folks.

That's because being a manager in a fast-food place means pretty much nothing. My 18 y.o. girlfriend back in the day was the manager where she worked because with two years of experience she had the most seniority. You're competing against people who actually studied management now so take classes or go back in the fast-food business (although it might be too late for that since your experience is 6 years old at that point.,.)
