Many people go to collage with money in mind. Sure, if teaching jobs paid 100k, then ALOT more folks would want to teach just for the money.


But quess what? The best teachers out there teach because THEY LOVE KIDS AND WANT TO TEACH, there for, the money is not such an issue to them.

We gotta dick over our county schools now thats a transplant. He took the job here because land is cheap, cost of living is cheap, and the job pays 110k a year. When our school had 482 kids out with flu and doctors confirmed most were h1n1, this same dick said school would remain in session .. no closing school because kids can run .. but they can't hide from swine flu.

Funny thing. School systems over in the Nashville area have FAR, FAR,FAR more poulation than our tiny school system, and they were on the news saying they shut school down because 22 kids had h1n1.

Now just immagine for a second if that same dick that moved here for the big money and low cost of living had got lucky enough to land his job in the big city .. where far more kids are at risk.

If you go to collage to land a low paying job teaching, most likely your doing it because you love helping kids. Throw big bucks in the mix and you'll have folks only wanting to teach BECAUSE IT PAYS WELL, and would only be a paycheck to them.
