The West Virginia Education Association has unveiled its priority agenda for the regular session that begins in January, and the Charleston Daily Mail has the details:
- $35,000 salaries for starting teachers, matching the national average, up from the state average of $29,114;
- $49,109 average salaries for other W.Va. teachers, also per national figures, and up from the current level of $38,284 (that's a $10,825 hill to climb).

Why not ignore the unions and do what makes sense - tie salaries to the markets so that teachers in positions of high demand and in locations with difficulty recruiting are paid higher, while those in postions where supply far exceeds demand don't get the big raises. Supply and demand works well in most other professions.
