[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers in DC are paid a lot compared to teachers in other areas. They'll find replacements. [/quote]

Do you not realize that we get paid more in DC because the cost of living is ridiculously high? And we still don’t get paid enough to afford the city? There was already a teacher shortage to begin with. We went all school year with vacancies. So no,
I really don’t think they will be able to find enough replacements.[/quote]

The unemployment rate is 15 percent. There are art and music and gym teachers in DC who make six figures. I think they'll find people.

How many of those 15% unemployed have a bachelor’s degree, are eligible for teacher certification, and can pass a background check? How many years experience until they get to $100k? And are they working at your WOTP school or will you demand they work at the EOTP schools?[/quote]
