Thanks, but most of the science teachers I know are "smarter than the average bear"...some schools let the coach teach science, though, or did before NCLB. ;-)

But, what needs to change so that more bright individuals will choose teaching as a career instead of these "high status" careers?

You never did address this part of my post. Any ideas?
