The reality is that your claim that low pay is keeping qualified people out of the teaching profession is just the kind of twaddle we constantly get from you. truthnjustice, the local Teachers In Residence program had many thousands of qualified applicants for a hundred positions.

Once again, the troll demonstrates its’ dishonesty by refusing to restate its’ arguments – this an indication that these are not seriously held beliefs, but just talking points that they cannot keep straight without having the crib-sheet in front of them.

She hates it: both the pay and the working conditions. One anecdotal story shot down by another.

Just how much nonsense this is was shown to me some years ago when I was working with the board of a local charter school and was interviewing applicants for teaching positions. We had an extraordinary number of people applying for positions with the charter school who could not get into the regular school district because of faux "qualifications" requirements that were barriers to entry rather than actually substantive. Or who were not interested in working with the stifling bureacracy of the school district and wanted into the charter school. We were actually paying less than the school district in effect, and still were flooded with applicants. Completely unqualified ones ... like the PhD in astrophysics who wanted to teach math and science for us ... The state's dept of education works with the unions to create barriers to the entry of good teachers - with great success.

I am going to take a nap. Why on Earth is it my responsibility to go through your idiotic comments to find the points I was making earlier. I posted a few sites and stated my case once. Your request is the equivalent of a juror falling asleep during the trial, then waking up and asking to see the presentation again. I am not interested in rehashing. Sounds like a good idea.
