Because of targeted propaganda and attacks by an organized political group that holds, as an ideology, that public institutions should not exist and everything should be done by the private sector.
- mattmcknight 4y agoIf this were true, wouldn't private school teachers be paid considerably more? In my area, they are paid considerably less.
- monocasa 4y agoWhy would that follow that private school teachers would be paid more?
- aisengard 4y agoYeah, the horrible pay in private school is proof enough that the "free" market is the absolute wrong way to go if you want better teachers.
- mattmcknight 4y agoThe claim was that school teacher salaries were low "Because of targeted propaganda and attacks by an organized political group that holds, as an ideology, that public institutions should not exist and everything should be done by the private sector. reply". Since private schools are not subject to these attacks, their salaries would not be lowered by these attacks, making them relatively higher.
- sangnoir 4y agoThat could only happen if private schools hired from a closed environment. In reality, there's a large pool of underpaid public school teachers that private schools can hire from while giving a 5-10% raise, which leaves private school teachers with 1.1x of a low salary.
- kristopolous 4y agoThis suggests a large disparity that's culturally based which I've been unable to find. I can find a comparative disparity such as https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/10/teachers-pay-countries-salaries-education/ https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/10/teachers-pay-countrie... But this isn't helpful. Those need to be normalized by the median by country and then expressed in some deviation metric to get a real idea.
