There isn't any action on the part of the Federal Government or most state governments that suggests the majority of people in power acknowledge this as a problem. Remember, in 2/3 of the US states it's still legal to pay someone $7 an hour.

The only way this changes is if teachers nationwide conduct a general strike and force parents to have to figure it out and schools to close. Barring that, it's never changing. The people with the power to change it simply do not care.
