There is that, yes, throughout the public school system. Do you think that might change if wages were higher???
probably not. All of us were willing to take the wages that were being paid. We were engineers of course :-) so we had already checked out the benefits, the pay, etc. But it was the working conditions that drove us away. Not being able to discipline, having pretty much no standards, having kids with all different abilities coming in yet being expected to teach them at the same level.
