Simply because there is a need for teachers...

So is it better to cram 60 kids into a class meant for 30 becuase you can't get teachers, becuase you won't pay them?

Or lose that engineer/accountant/lawyer that coaches & tutors after school, that guy that would be the ideal teacher, but refuses to be paid below what he is worth?

The worse thing is all teachers aren't underpaid...just in city schools, where you actually need them...Do you know how much a Teacher in West Chester NY, Bala Cynwyd, PA or in Bergen County, NJ makes? Plenty.


Ugh.
