[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s still a shortage of [b]teachers [/b]and nurses[/quote]

Teachers aren’t being paid enough to live in areas with strong public schools. My sister and her husband both work as teachers for FCPS, but their salaries aren’t sufficient to afford a home in a neighborhood with a good school pyramid. As a result, they use my address so their children can attend schools in the Langley pyramid.[/quote]

So they are liars and you facilitate lying and cheating.  How is this a good thing.   I hope you get caught.

The only way to raise teacher salary is through supply and demand.  When schools cannot get teachers, they will get paid more.  A perk in some areas is that teachers can put their kids in the school where they teach, similar to private school.  I'm ok with that perk.[/quote]

Why do teachers create "good school districts" and "bad school districts" in the first place?  Maybe teachers don't deserve a good salary.  My daughter told me a funny joke the other day, "How do you get straight A's?  With a ruler."  I laughed, what is a crooked A anyway?[/quote]

Are you thick? Teachers don't create the "good" or "bad" in the districts, the families that live there and send their kids there do.  Good teachers stay in those districts, which leads to lower turnovers, which is better for the schools.  They stay because it's easier to teach kids whose parents are really doing all the appropriate parenting at home.  Some kids in "bad" districts simply aren't getting the parenting at home that they need to be good students.  Some of those students are disruptive to everyone.[/quote]
