[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do teachers not know what the median salary when they go into the profession?  Civil jobs in this country do not pay a lot. Police, nurse, teacher, firefighter, EMT etc... do not make a lot. They are supposed to recruit for people that are passionate about the job.  Jobs like lawyers and doctors recruit money hungry people. I certainly would NOT want those type of people teaching my kid. That said, there is not a huge need for teachers and crappy ones that name it thru a few years never get fired. It sucks. [/quote]

Everybody knows that teaching does not usually pay well, and is a low-prestige job to boot (just ask the high-powered lawyer PP, above). Which is why a lot of people who might be good teachers decide not to go into teaching, but instead to go into a different field that pays better and has more prestige. Yay for them. Too bad for us, though.[/quote]

Bigger pay means bigger class-size.  The budget only has so much. You take out the illegals and all the costs associated with teaching their kids and you have a much bigger budget to work with.  But everyone is too PC to mention that educating millions of kids that need ESOL, FARMS and have parents that directly never help the school.  Well it has added up over time.  Bigger class sizes, no more aides, less paraeducators, etc...  It has destroyed MCPS district in the last 10-15 years.  [/quote]
