Why raise salaries and support teachers when you can just lower the requirements to become a teacher

You have to have some experience. Its going to allow people to do on the job training, and thats where its scary,

This is a bit off though, as on the job training is the most important part of teacher training in credential programs. But* and that's a big but, that's as a student teacher, not just striking off on their own. In CA you can start teaching while you're working on your teaching credential (though it's not common), but yeah you have to at least have your BA and your credential in progress and you still have a mentor and required meetings with them.
