I spend quite a bit of time volunteering in my children's classrooms. I've come to the conclusion that it matters not public or private, as much as whether the parents are involved. I can tell which teachers are there for money & which are there for the children. This may be a bit off the post subject, but you gave me a forum to write.

Not providing any context for true comparison is a bit misleading and oversimplification, don't you think? If I look up your wife's salary and start making judgments about her, her lifestyle and what she deserves compared to me, what are my chances of making good judgments without knowing any number of other factors unique to you both?Jayhttp://pithytitlehere.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229922944038525673.post-86369799177638354912011-05-22T11:52:24.518-07:002011-05-22T11:52:24.518-07:00A.J. - I wan't discussing Charlotte in that ex...A.J. - I wan't discussing Charlotte in that example, but one in the northeast.

Private school teachers make considerably less money than public school teachers. Across the board. Every subject. Every state. Even in Charlotte where there is no teacher's union.A.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08869277792045262903noreply@blogger.com
