[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is that the best teachers teach in the public schools because public schools pay more and provide better benefits.[/quote] Not true across the board. At my child's private in DC, many teachers will tell you flat out that they prefer the relative autonomy of curriculum, the development support, the opportunity to be agile and flexible and the freedom from NCLB. In K, 1st, 3rd and Science, my child has had teachers who left MoCo and DCPS. Who knows why they switched, but one thing is sure -- they are paid less in this private. Switching gears, one of my child's K teachers and one 3rd grade teacher had spouses who make lots of money. So the loss of that $20K a year isn't a big deal, I bet. As PP herself points out, private school teachers can really rock. In full disclosure, my child has had one teacher in this private who is a veteran and totally phoning it in. I wish she'd quit. She's actually a bitch most of the time.[/quote]
