Yeah, the line in the article about demand for calc teachers outstripping the supply suggests an obvious remedy... Unfortunately, the fragmented (ie, redlined) us public school system means that higher teacher play is impossible in lower income areas. So private schools will pay more for the calculus teachers, and the low income public schools will continue multi-classing pe teachers for the task. And in another twenty years we will continue to lament the increasing lack of social mobility in this country...

> Unfortunately, the fragmented (ie, redlined) us public school system means that higher teacher play is impossible in lower income areas. The lowest-income school districts around here pay higher salaries than the nicest districts by a solid 20-30%. Most teachers with options still won't work there because the environment is frustrating, unrewarding, dangerous, and toxic.
