My personal vent is the fact that I know somone who pays $200/month less a month in rent because she's a teacher, but her salary is comparable to mine. Different apartments, but the regular rent is only $25 less, anyway. Just a vent.
The other thing that the WONDERFUL South Carolina system does (nationally known for being ranked 50th... or have we moved up to 49th, yet?) is that they allow teachers with no certification because there's such a high need for them.
I agree with the earlier comment... maybe if we started paying them more, we'd get better quality... the expression, you get what you pay for. Though I guess it's a catch-22, because then you'd get teachers that don't care about teaching, but more about the money.
