re: #108 engineer dog

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

About half of all teachers leave the profession within five years. Most people I talk to who leave don’t talk about the money, which is not great, but you know that going in. It’s how hard it is, and the lack of respect, and the way it eats your entire life.
