re: #99 Dark_Falcon
Well, the Chicago Tribune recently did an article on just how hard it is to fire a bad teacher, so it’s not a myth. Overblown, maybe, but not a myth.
my overall impression is that it is hard to attract and keep good teachers, altho i can’t cite any documentation on that point
but it certainly seems to come in at the low end of remuneration for professions requiring college degrees
