[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anecdotally, some wealthier PTA’s give hundreds of dollars to teachers to purchase supplies, have grants for larger purchases, support teachers with food, messages, awards etc. The boosters make sure the sports teams and music programs have the best equipment and uniforms. I don’t think there is much difference in teaching overall, but anything outside of the classroom has a big difference between wealthy and poor schools. Over time staff end up gravitating to schools easier to commute to more than anything else. [b]Poorer neighborhoods don’t have a lot of good overall housing/location for teachers.[/b] If a poor school is getting more money it is going to special programs and staffing that high most achieving students are not part of.[/quote] ...how much money do you think teachers make that you think they are more likely to live in wealthier areas? I live in SS/TP and we have a ton of neighbors who teach in the wealthier MCPS schools.[/quote]
