Their union won’t let you pay a new hire more than a less competitive teacher with more seniority. Therefore almost nobody with the capacity to work at a FAANG will choose to become a high school CS or Math teacher earning poverty wages.
- JaimeThompson 7y agoTexas doesn't have a teachers union and they still don't pay them all that well. Blaming unions for such things doesn't appear to be a well researched argument.
- lotsofpulp 7y agoTaxpayers vote for candidates that keep taxes low seems like a bigger factor. We don’t have the political will to pay teachers $200k.
- lexs 7y ago> a less competitive teacher whats that supposed to mean?
- aianus 7y agoSomeone who doesn't have or is unable to obtain a job offer with much higher compensation in industry. For example, hiring a CS or Math grad as a HS CS teacher is more competitive than hiring a French Literature grad as a HS French teacher. The CS grads have a lot of other options and at any fixed compensation you will get much better French teachers than CS teachers.
