What is your opinion on the new Texas teacher salary?

I'm not looking for a debate here. I'm just curious! I am a teacher in Texas and it is being discussed to reduce teacher salary to $27,000 with the districts responsible for making up the rest based on standardized test scores. I conferenced with a parent today and he brought this up agreeing with the new bill. He said teachers are already paid too much because we have a lot of vacation days and if we can't get children to pass the tests, then we shouldn't be teaching. Being a professional, I did not argue, I just listened. Again, I am not looking for a debate. I am just curious what your thoughts are on teacher salaries. Are we paid too much?
