[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would anyone chose teaching as a profession? Especially around here? Young teachers would have difficulty paying off debt, and buying a car- let alone a house . I've read some of the most condescending and disrespectful posts here about teachers. I started college as an ed major and transferred out. Kids can have many callings, why choose a difficult path?[/quote]

That's the rub. Parents want excellent schools, but it's impossible without actually having qualified, good teachers. You want to see what happens when you fill your classrooms with college grads with a summer's worth of training who inevitably will quit within two years -- look at DC. I was an administrator for two months at a well-regarded charter and it was awful compared to even the worst performing Title I school I worked in while teaching at FCPS. And that school was full of teachers who had only taught for a year or two (most of whom were planning on leaving and basically using the experience for their grad school admission essays).
