teachers in bad / poor areas in the states aren't paid less than teachers in the "good" areas. cps for instance, chicago public school teachers are among the best paid and worst performing in the country.
- ryanhuff 11y agoI didn't know the teachers were the ones earning the grades. See the posts above that cite what happens to re-gentrified areas, where the social-economic make-up of a school changes but the teacher make-up does not.
- prostoalex 11y agoYou're implying teacher quality and school financing are irrelevant, and yet every conversation about public schooling in the US brings those arguments up.
- rhino369 11y agoIt's not as simple as that. There are a lot of rural areas where teachers make almost nothing. Chicago can afford to spend a lot of money (since it has rich areas it can tax). So they spend a lot on schools in poor areas of the city. And then educational outcomes of the poor rural and poor (but expensive) urban schools aren't different.
