[quote=Anonymous]My child attends a small independent school (not DMV) where about 80% of the teachers have PhD's from well recognized schools. I initially wondered if they might consider this a "last resort" option, but they have been wonderful and seem to lead very full lives outside of school that they share with the students. A couple compete nationally/internationally in sports, one is a published fiction author, and many sponsor interesting student groups related to their field that involve travel and introduce the students to practical application. The trade-off of avoiding university politics and publish or perish pressure seems to be worth it to them, and teacher recruitment is largely word of mouth so over time they have attracted colleagues.
