I mean I think nurses and social workers are also under compensated and suffer from the same problems that are undermining public education.

I just thought that charter schools are well known for rarely being a top destination for teachers and that more of them are nit going to cause more people to become teachers. I also thought saying teachers don't like charter schools just because they're a better alternative was disingenuous and disrespectful.

Do you really think teachers don't like charter school because they're trying to improve public education in America and its not because they promote a system where teachers have less pay, less benefits, less rights, and less protections?

And if you particularly respect special Ed teachers don't look at their compensation at charter schools. Although those schools get to choose if they accept disabled students so that might be fair.

Charter schools began as labratories but very rarely are they doing anything revolutionary. Almost all of them have copied models used in public schools. And why is such a key part of that new system of better education include the devaluation of educators? I am waiting for the solution to our problem with education in the US that doesn't involve the dismantling of public education.

What professions am I comparing teachers to? And I don't think removing pensions is a solution to attracting more people to the profession.

This asked how to attract teachers, and people in education know most teachers don't love charter schools. And as an aside children and education benefit from qualified and compensated teachers.

There's exceptions to the rule but every charter school I've worked at or with struggled to keep teachers for more than a couple years. They did do a good job at hiring teachers out of school or those without certifications required for public education. Statistically there hasn't been anything to show that they do more with less. The vast majority of charter schools perform at or below.

That's another good point, charter school teachers don't have access to pensions.

From when I was looking at jobs last year schools in delco, monco, and York counties but the average is probably closer to 48-50k. I'd imagine other parts of the state are less competitive.

Starting at 60k has to be close to the top in the state.

My bad I misread what you wrote.

My issue is knowing how many secondary ed students failed their praxis, and knowing how easy it is, I think they definitely need to keep it but it should be free for students to take. There needs to he some bare minimum requirement.

Aren't praxis tests just a standardized test?

In a lot of parts of pa that's a higher than the cap and twice as much as the starting salary.

Going from bartender to educator shouldn't be a pay cut

Why would teachers want more schools where they make less, have less rights, less protections, and often less support?

While I don't really disagree with you it does play into the whole arguement of "you should be ok with the pay freeze because you're here for the kids and we respect you."

People don't go into education to make bank but a lot of people don't go into it or leave it because pay is inadequate.

Benefits and protection in most of PA are ok as long as you're not in a charter or some private schools

I agree with some of what you said but what are the unnecessary college classes/requirements and the toxic parts of unions?

The need to build up a resume by substitute teaching was from before the shortage when there was too much competition for limited openings.

Just know the neighborhood the studio is in. Most of them, especially the good ones, are in completely safe areas.

I mean if you're being purposefully obtuse that's an interpretation you can go with.

The bigger issue is crime is attached to poverty. Neighborhoods in North and West are poorer and higher crime.

But hey if you were scared of being in the city it's good you got out. It's not for everyone.

Philly is rough but unless you're hanging out in parts of North or West it's not that bad. Just need to spend time with people who've been around for a minute and don't spend all day on the next door app, they're not as on edge.

I'm more stressed about the housing costs in Philly, montco and delco.

I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

Pittsburgh is cool but it's a pretty steep drop off once you get outside the city.

Yeah but people were offended that a bar I worked at did a fundraiser for a lgbtq center. I am glad we were assholes and didnt worry about offending those people.

On the other hand one might even say it's offensive to compare a cocktail named caucasian to a nfl team named a racial slur.

It's obvious why things like a slur are offensive. It's not obvious and borderline silly that people found "caucasian" offensive without context.

Yeah mixed those two up

Yeah, they should keep in the family like they do in pennslytucky

Yeah there needs to be some effective way of testing if drivers are stoned while operating their car.

It's the deep state!

That's why I only support corporations

The Washington football team used a racial slur. Is caucasian a racial slur?

I mean it was kind of a weird question to an obvious joke

Yeah there has to be more to the story and I don't know Lancaster but idk if my old manager would be jumping at the chance to hire someone who walked out over a drink called the caucasian. Not because we use big lebowski jokes in our drink names but because the boh is a ruckus
