[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of the preschool teachers are my kids preschool are white though - and I doubt they make more than daycare workers. I think it's considered "higher skilled" though and I get the impression that at least some of the teachers just love the job and don't need the money. So low pay doesn't fully explain what is going on here.[/quote] This is true of real preschools with half-day or part-day classes (as opposed to daycare centers); many of the teachers are moms who work part-time while their own kids are in school (which is my situation). Their income is just a (small) supplement to their husband's wages, certainly not what they are trying to support a family on. Many preschool teachers would not work at a daycare center because it would require more hours than they want to work; if they wanted to work full-time, many would a different job, where they could earn more money.
