Convincing star college scientists to enter the field of K-12 education can be a hard sell, especially when comparing salaries of public school teachers with those elsewhere in the science industry.
I don't know exactly what the "science industry" is, but in general this is bunk. K-12 education is paid vastly better (in terms of money and job security) than most scientists. Perhaps tenured profs do better, but most scientists are not tenured profs.
Why are U.S. children so far behind in science and math compared with those in other developed countries?
Because the US has fewer high performing Asians and more low performing Blacks/Hispanics than other developed countries. That's all there is to it.
