It is just that they don't chase money. I guess "deserves" is the word I don't like. If the quote was, "money usually ends up with people willing to do what it takes to chase the money", then I would agree.
I just think there are some really great high school teachers out there who are altruistically motivated by teaching and deserve to be paid more, but they aren't motivated by money enough to leave a good cause. They deserve to be paid more but don't.
To be clear, not ALL teachers fit this category.
