Teacher's salaries

I said I didn't know the percentages. I know for a fact it's happening, because it's happening in my home school system and other school systems across the state. Whether it's 1% of the newly hired teachers or 10%, it is still occuring (according to NCTEACH, currently in 80 of NC's 100 counties). Not to mention the Teach4NC site states that they are actively recruiting these pseudo-teachers... I don't know how much more obvious it can be.

My entire POINT is that you may think that kddani's teachers are being overpaid, but her school system is not the norm. I would imagine that getting a teaching job in her system would be quite competitive... in most counties in North Carolina, schools are begging people to teach.

Again you don't know. 1% is meaningless. 1% is an outlier. Let me repeat, just in case you didn't catch the first line, you don't know.

And we can always look at the average as opposed to "teacher in NC are piss poor" and "teachers in PA are rich". And with that, the market determines how much they get paid unless a union steps in and their salaries are forced higher.
