[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind that the public schools are spending 15 k per year on your kid (and don't need to pay rent) and paying their starting teachers 52K. If your school is charging less than than 15K, they will be spending less on your child than the public system and [b]attracting teachers who couldn't get a higher paying job in the public system.[/b] [/quote] This is not true. All teachers in DCPS are paid commensurate to their experience, on a payscale. A second-year teaching with a bachelor's degree will get the same pay as someone with equal credentials. The issue with private schools is that teachers are not required to have licenses. So the private school teachers either a) want to teach and are only there while they go through their licensure program and then will quit once they get a job in public schools--which are union and/or pay a lot more--or b) really want to teach at a private religious school and don't care that it pays beans.[/quote] I am a certified teacher who teaches at a non-religious independent school BY CHOICE. I have taught public and will never go back, and this is true of many of my colleagues. You make several incorrect assumptions in your post.[/quote]
