Why should a young teacher who works their butt off get paid less than a 20 year veteran that punches a clock?

There are many factors that go into performance, and there is no magic way to evaluate them all. Hours spent is only one of those metrics, and can be measured. With experience a lot of the hard to measure metrics are [generally] improved. Teach to the test has been proven to be a counter productive metric, and should not be used. I agree the current system has many problems, but solutions are not simple.
