Talking through your hat dude. Supply and demand. We get about 30-40 resumes per month from qualified ( on paper) applicants. If hired they are compensated based on a combination of their skill set, experience, and qualifications ( and they aren't paid that much less) We currently have an architect working as a teachers assistant and two psychologists working as teachers. Most of our assistants are education students, usually half way or more through their degree requirements. 90 percent of them want on the government gravy train, good wages, pension, medical, low-cost loans, and they don't have to perform very hard. All the teachers we lost, kept their children in our school, even though they now have to pay for them , instead of it being a fringe benefit. In fact we have numerous teacher and directors children attending the school.
My wife is a demanding person to work for as she doesn't accept that " no me culpa " bull**** from her teachers. Funny thing, several of the teachers that left found out that they couldn't put their mothers on their medical insurance through the public system so they asked to keep paying for them through our plan. Everything is not rosier on the government payroll. One of the teachers now working in the public system comes by every lunch hour and tells us all the horror stories of the morning.
