The point with parochial schools (and many other Catholic privates), is that [b]many of the teachers are there because they want to be[/b]...not because the benefits or the pay is good.  Many of these teachers are committed to Catholic education, consider it to be more of a vocation vs a job, and have a passion for teaching our children.  That is not to say public school teachers are not passionate, it is just a conviction that I see coming from them that I have not witnessed in a public school.[/quote]

I assume that the teachers in MCPS are also there because they want to be there. Otherwise they wouldn't be there.

Also, I don't think that wanting to get paid for one's work is a sign of lesser commitment.[/quote]

What about the MCPS teacher who sends her kids to the local parochial school?  I would venture to say she is in it for the money...otherwise she would be teaching for less salary at the school where her kids are. [/quote]

I can speak to this from personal experience. Third generation PS teacher. Single mom. Two DC. I don't make enough teaching for MCPS to move into a cluster that I felt confident about. Generous FA from a private school. It's actually more diverse racially and socioeconomically than the school where I teach.[/quote]
