"Is it really just about salaries?" CBS News host Margaret Brennan asked Cardona.
"It's definitely not just about salaries," Cardona replied. "But let's think back the last couple years, you know, our educators have bent over backwards. We went from totally in-person learning to remote learning overnight, yet the pandemic really pushed many of these educators out of the profession because in many cases, you know, educators were not being respected when schools had to close. It created some tensions in our schools."
