Squeak, to be honest, I don’t really care if people figure out who I am. So you know who I am? And? You need more information than that to steal my identity. So you know my employer – most people I know do. I’m not giving out any classified information here that I wouldnt have given out to people I meet.

IIRC, Joseph is from the greater monsey area, and I really wonder if I know him. I would love to meet Anon and Oomis (and some others) and I wonder if I know them.

Back to the topic at hand – the schools I listed above have much more stringent requirements for teachers (many require masters to teach). In many cases, better training leads to better teaching. Part of this is because training helps teachers control a class and then can relay the subject better.

I had some teachers in my youth that were basically “straight out of seminary” teachers who may have known plenty about the topic but were not cut out to be a teacher because they had no understanding of how to teach or how to control a class. Could this be taught on the job? Yes, but training helps. Training costs money.

Granted, at a certain point, more money doesnt do anything to help.

I didn’t say net revenue per student was higher, just cost per family is approximately the same.
