If people know they’re going to be underpaid, why do they pursue that career path? No one becomes a teacher by accident.
Let’s have a shortage of teachers so that they’re forced to raise wages.

Why do people choose their job based on something other than money? To ask that is to answer it. (Hopefully)
Else, how would we ever improve working conditions anywhere? I don't think that is going to happen externally.
It won’t force them to raise wages. What a lot of cities are doing are getting teachers from overseas.
In the absence of a strong union presence keeping political leaders in check the shortage is likely to simply lead to larger class sizes, more stressed out teachers and the use of privatization to "solve" the associated problems.
or you will get incompetent teachers
