[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]For ~$35K a year, I would expect my school to hire only the best and brightest teachers. I'm sorry, but this would give me pause.[/quote] No private school can pay enough money to hire exclusively the best and the brightest. If they are really the best and the brightest, it is because it is a labor of love and they are independently wealthy or have a high earning spouse and enjoy the student body/environment of private school. You would have to pay probably double in tuition to really hire even teachers that are by and large competitive with public school teachers in high performing districts.[/quote] I agree. My kid went to a Big 3 and the teachers are way better in MCPS. They are more dedicated, more intelligent, and they are doing this because they love it. Not all of them but many. [/quote] What is the median pay differential between publics and privates?[/quote]
