I would be more likely to teach in a private school than a public one, for sure. But I have a different job for now so am not pursuing it. That doesn't negate the point I made (and which a sibling commenter has said also applies to his

Why do you think it is not relevant to the problem of teacher recruiting? I would be more likely to go into teaching if I thought it could be a good place to work and I would be paid fairly. My impression, from seeing my kids go through pub

I thought the same thing regarding professors not being unionized. However, in top universities they are paid as much based on research (or outside offers based on research) as they are on teaching capability. One thing that is truly bonker

Teacher recruiting wouldn't be so hard if pay weren't lockstep, as it is in so many places. Unions demand this, and it keeps some potentially-effective teachers out of the profession (and keeps old lousy ones in, unfortunately).

Sure, but when people say something is 5x cheaper or 500% cheaper, what is the math that they are implying? That the expensive thing is 5x / 500% as expensive as the cheap thing?

What does "100x cheaper" mean? Costs are 1 / 100? If so, is there a more appropriate term to use?

There are a couple people I've met on HN, then emailed with, then met IRL. There are also some people I've known IRL, who then saw my stuff on HN and reconnected with me IRL. The former is neat, but the latter is even better.

Yeah, like I said, not talking about the boonies. There are plenty of lovely places that are >10km from those two cities, but which are still close enough to services and infrastructure.
