Last week, we told you about a survey that tried to argue that teachers are overpaid.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan responded to the study with this editorial in the Huffington Post. He does well in pointing out that while money is not a top reason people come into teaching, it tends to be a top reason they leave it. With an average starting salary of $35k and average top salary of $65k, it's no wonder that there is a nation wide problem recruiting and retaining teachers.
Nice to see the Secretary of Education have teacher's backs.
