An advisor to Donald Trump wants to make the job of teacher tax exempt.
This would effectively give them an immediate raise of somewhere between 30-40%, make the job more important (as the only tax-exempt job), and increase the attractiveness of the role to new people.
2/3rds of Americans have a basic high school education, and nothing more. That's a big problem. Making teaching an attractively-paying job would go a long ways to bringing attention to the role and issues.
