[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Beyond creating massive employee loyalty and satisfaction, what are the other benefits to the school as a whole?[/quote]

Economic diversity within the student body?

You may not think that's a benefit, though.[/quote]

Umm, most of the faculty kids I know have one parent who is either a lawyer at a major law firm, in investment banking, or otherwise in finance. That is how the other spouse affords easily to be a teacher in a private school. If diversity is what you are looking for, why not just give financial aid equally across the board and see who shows up for class?[/quote]

That's certainly not the case at our school.  I'm sure it varies from place to place.  There may be more teachers like that at the primary/elementary level.  Thinking of the Upper School faculty at our school, the "other spouse" often seems to work in government, academia, non-profit world -- the teacher is either an equal financial partner or even the primary breadwinner.
