[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private schools have much lower standards for teachers. And they pay far less than public schools. If you are good at your profession, why get paid a third or more less????[/quote] That's what always confuses me when people claim teachers in private are better. This contradicts all economic theory about sorting in the labor market. My private school teachers always complained about how they weren't paid as much as the public school counterparts (and this was in a city that did NOT pay its public school teachers particularly well). Why would a teacher whose skills and abilities are marketable choose a private school when they could almost certainly gain employment in a good public school with far better wage and benefits?[/quote]
