In theory this increased number of people wanting to be teachers would allow schools to be very choosy about who they hire. In essence they could pick the cream of the crop.

Have you been to a school recently? Other than pay, the other reason the education system doesn't attract good teachers is: Who the fuck wants to be treated like shit every day by a bunch of selfish know it all teenagers, with no real recourse?
The teachers don't do themselves any favours either making people think they're a bunch of low paid people just scraping by. None of the kids in high school think their lives will "turn out as bad as having to be a teacher" right? They think teaching is what you do when you fail at all the other, better jobs. The kids really do think their teachers are low paid losers.
I like the idea of a larger 2 tier school system. Good kids who do their work get to go to the good schools. The kids who don't, don't. They can work hard and move up. The only caveat is the selections have to be done either A> by a computer or B> blind evaluations with only ID's. That way there's no bias about who gets to go where, and it doesn't just get abused by the rich people.
If your kid is an idiot, he goes to idiot school. Nuff said.
