[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve noticed that teachers at local privates attended more expensive, higher-ranking grad & undergrad schools than teachers at local publics, but are lower paid. I assume dealing with fewer behavioral issues & having more autonomy draw teachers to teach in private versus public. I also have a hunch that a lot of my children’s teachers are married to higher earners.

This is going to sound a bit tasteless, but I have met a couple teachers throughout my child’s time attending a big 3 that seemed to enjoy being in the proximity of powerful families. Especially in instances when their own kids were attending the school. There was a social climbing aspect to it.[/quote]

This is such an awesome post for so many reasons. 😂[/quote]

Pp captured this perfectly. Some teachers stay at high profile privates because it's the only way they can tether themselves to that echelon of society. Maybe they are third or forth generation wealth, with no actual wealth, and it the o my way they can secure their children's inclusion in a world they can't actually afford. There is the earnest excuses covering real problems of being able to afford $50k tuition. [/quote]
