[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Help me understand the private schools. The teachers make half of public school teachers.  How many private school parents would take a job for a much lower salary?? Private schools have wonderful sales people![/quote]

It's not surprising that some talented people will take less money to have a better work environment (don't have to spend time dealing with problem kids), and a lot more control/input over curriculum.[/quote]
I'm not sure it's all better.  Private school parents expect a certain level of responsiveness from their kids' teachers, and that can be a tough thing to handle![/quote]

That’s not tougher than what my kids’ teachers experienced in DC public schools (eg, having students throw chairs at them, push them, and curse them out (the cursing was a daily occurrence). On top of that, kids showing up unprepared and unwilling to work (but eager to cause disruption) everyday, yet the principal expects you to pass these kids. And this occurred at a “good” WotP school in Ward 3. [/quote]
