I work in a program for gifted kids outside the public school system.  We start our programs in a week.  We are only about 80% staffed.  Next week, our administrators will be calling parents who signed up for classes and paid big bucks that they can either choose a different class for their kids or get a credit for a future class.  This is a program that, 5 years ago, was so, so, so hard to get hired to work in.  You pretty much had to know someone.  It pays really well, teachers have a ton of autonomy, the kids are generally great and it's a lot of fun to teach these classes.  Now?  They can't staff them all.  I know every field is having issues, but this is pretty shocking to me.  [/quote]

Is this Hopkins CTY?
Pay is too low in my opinion:

There is an article in the Washington Post:

+1. I bet they can't staff it with TAs and office assistants. $500 per week before taxes in an expensive area? This is a great program and I'm sorry for the kids who were looking forward to it, but come on. I'd love to know what they're offering custodians and cafeteria workers. I'm sure it's insultingly low.[/quote]
