[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These salaries are really decent. Why do districts like PG and Baltimore County have to get H-1Bs to come to fill teaching positions? And, our unemployment is so high and all of these college grads cannot find jobs.[/quote] Because the job is really hard, especially in places like Baltimore and PG County where you have more discipline issues, students living in poverty, etc. And you actually have to have some skills to teach - you can't just pull any person off the street and throw them in the classroom. While there are many unemployed people with various skills, they do not necessarily have what it takes to be a good teacher. Teaching is SO much more than academics. Watch this documentary to get some idea of teaching in Baltimore schools: http://www.hbo.com/documentaries/hard-times-at-douglass-high-no-child-left-behind/index.html[/quote]
