Almost everyone agrees that good teachers are important for our children. However, how those teachers should be compensated can lead to heated debates. Take, for example, the one that just happened over the new teacher retirement system approved in the latest state budget.

Her four-part series is called “A Look at Teacher Pay in Michigan.”
She spoke with "Morning Edition" host Doug Tribou.
