"Your statement is based on "appearance"? I know dozens of private school teachers, and I can only think of who ever even sent a resume to a public school."
Ok...poorly worded.
Most of the teachers employed at our local private schools interviewed at the public schools first and were not hired.
It is common for them to jump ship and leave the private school when they find an opening in the local public school district.
It isn't hard to see why...the salaries at the private school are much lower and they don't have benefits.

Your scope is rather limited. I know a number of private schools that offer a benefit package to teachers. My wife teaches at one. And, she doesn't see salary as the most important issue.
