There's been an excess of humanities teachers specifically the past 30+ years not so much in the STEM department. Just because there are a lot of teachers doesn't mean they should be paid less either. No big reform is gonna happen anytime soon that will actually benefit education or teachers. If anything we are seeing the opposite happen across the nation, many states are lowering standards for certification to be a teacher from a bachelors to just a HS diploma and states like Florida are just taking veterans or reservists to fill classrooms as normal (not even stationing additional vets for aiding since they have no clue what they are doing). An excess of highly skilled and educated professionals is good and we should be maintaining that standard especially since the average classroom size is getting bigger every year in most places.
