[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think this is true. There is a massive teacher shortage nationally—people are leaving the profession in droves, and the consensus is that many veteran teachers would not recommend the profession to college graduates. The state of American education across many types of schooling is in deep crisis. [/quote]

People keep saying this. I’ll believe it when salaries start to go up. But there’s still not exactly a bidding war right now. [/quote]

Salaries don’t go up because people are comfortable replacing burned out teachers with teachers who will soon burn out.

There are plenty of people willing to try teaching for a year or two. But getting people to stay for low pay and little respect? That’s much harder.

And let’s be honest: people don’t pick a school because of the HOS. They pick a school because of what teachers contribute: strong instruction, supportive classrooms. The HOS can be gone for a month and we won’t notice. But have teachers take off and the school falls apart.

They deserve tons more pay. [/quote]

At least in the private school space the market should sort this out, if parents actually have high educational standards. Why wouldn’t area privates be bidding up the best teachers? It’s not like everyone doesn’t know who they are. [/quote]
