re: School Choice Will Lead to Higher Teacher Salaries--why do they oppose it?

Of course poor teachers will have a more difficult time if there is real competition.

Part of the problem is there aren't enough teachers. Bad teachers stay employed because there isn't a warm body to take his or her place. Y'all live to simultaneously romanticize teaching while villainizing teachers. It's hard work and the pay isn't awesome. I don't know where the only work 7 months a year comes from. I often think about leaving for another career. I work 11 months a year as a tea her. I'm willing to work 12 months for 20k plus more a year in a different industry.
