[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your comments clearly reflect your own personal experience. For many in the teaching field, achieving your coveted certificate standard, thereby allowing you to teach in the public schools, has very little currency. The fact that the person chose teaching in the first place is a major tell on their priorities; i.e. focused on things other than maximizing compensation. So, to assume that within this group of non primarily financially motivated individuals, that the cream rises to the top based upon just salary is a gross oversimplification. I agree that some public school teachers are paid more. However, there are many advantages to teaching in an independent school environment, especially as the public option has morphed into "teaching to the standardized test". To discount the other material differences does not serve you well.[/quote] Well reasoned and well written. I am an independent school teacher and am pleased to see someone articulate this. I teach in the arts and was tired of the instability and budget cuts of public schools. I actively sought private school employment. Many people do. Don't let people tell you otherwise. Not to mention that when [b]one of the alternatives is teaching for DCPS - the independent school life begins to look really, really good[/b].
