Do parents monitor and help with homework? Go to parent teacher conferences? Check report cards? Or do they view school as government provided daycare?
When I was a kid (yes, I know, hey boomer) the last thing you wanted was for the teacher or the principal to call your parents. And parents got roped into helping with school projects, and this was before the Internet so they bought us encyclopedias and took us to the library. And from what I hear, what teachers would ask for is smaller class sizes, and not to have to buy school supplies out of their own pockets.

Are you aware most teaching positions have very good benefits that arguably more than make up their salary? What they lost their benefits and just had a wage increase, would that make them all good teachers? Simplify paralleling wage to poor output isn't going to fix anything. Simply increasing wage doesn't fix anything. It's like printing out $300 to every single person and expecting it to solve all financial issues.
