No, that’s not what you’re saying. You’re condescending the underlying point that public school teachers are underpaid.
-
They are underpaid, but paying them a lot won’t fix the broken school systems
-
This is exactly like the brain drain in mathematics and sciences by the financial sector: people follow the money.

BART employees are more highly paid than Lambda School teachers, yet the trains don’t run on time and are a mess. Why is that?
-
True or false, the majority of your “teachers” are already wealthy in their own right?
-
True, and unimportant. We could still have a very crappy school with wealthy, well-paid teachers. If you put those same teachers in the public school system they would have a very hard time being successful.

How the actual fuck do you think that works?
-
Have you ever been in a poor district? My wife worked in one. She worked her ass off, didn’t move the needle much, because everything around her was broken.

Also, I started following you on here because I liked the idea of Lambda School, but if your attitude and approach to human interaction is in any way present in your curriculum then your doors cannot possibly close fast enough.

I’m sorry, what have I said that was in any way offputting, other than disagreeing with you that paying teachers more would make our schools the best in the world? I pay teachers a lot of money. That alone is not enough.
-
And by paying them a lot of money do you or do you not attract top talent that delivers results?
-
It’s only a small piece of the puzzle. Paying them high salaries alone will not make a great school, no. There’s so much more to it than that, and if those pieces aren’t solved it doesn’t matter how much you pay.
