[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still think a far better solution is hiring teachers from other countries, helping them with housing and any professional development to help with cultural adjustment issues.

So basically you want indentured servitude. Thanks for at least being honest, even if you are a monster.[/quote]

What an ignorant reply. How is that indentured servitude?? People would come here on their own accord/choice, with a contract to earn a paycheck. [/quote]

I’m not the previous poster, but what it sounds like to me is that you would rather find people in other countries that would be willing to accept what we are currently paying teachers now, instead of raising teacher pay.  [/quote]

Replace teachers with IT, and it's how we got housing prices so high here, that teachers can't afford to live here.[/quote]

I work 12 months out of the year and make less than the teachers I know in this area. I think a teacher making 6 figures is doing pretty darn good and we need to stop with the "...teachers can't afford to live here..."[/quote]

Is VA still ranked #49 and DC still ranked #51 when it comes to teacher salaries?

Only [i]“six states pay teachers below the state’s average salary.”[/i] - this includes VA and DC.

Your anecdote doesn’t mean much. The data speaks for itself.

No one goes into teaching for the money. Quite the opposite. They go into teaching despite the low salary.

Is it really a low salary? When has making 100,000 in Arlington been considered to be "low". If that's the case, there's a lot more than just teachers that are not getting paid enough.
