> Good quality teachers already leave, public school is the bottom rung for teachers in the USA and I'm not saying that's okay but it's the least pay and the most work. This isn’t true. The pay is better in public schools, the jobs are more secure and the pensions are much better. > Professionally minded teachers move on to charter and private schools once they've done their time in the pits long enough to transition into a role where they're not just daycare workers. Utter tripe. The only part of being a teacher outside the public school system that’s better is the average quality of the students. You have to really value that to think it’s worth more than being effectively unfireable and having a fantastic pension, with pretty good pay once you’re somewhere between three and six years in.
