<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, it isn't good for people to live in other
areas? If the people here are happy doing their teaching...knowing this is a
good place to live and don't move out often I think that is a good thing. If one
is assuming they are good teachers. I have heard that a lot of the local
teachers spouses are tied to the University so they don't leave that often.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The pay has to be tied to what the parents are
making in the local district. Parents cannot be expected to pay so much taxes to
support the schools that they cannot do anything else. If teachers and/or the
union is expecting that they are wrong. </FONT></DIV>

<P>Mr. Hansen says:</P>
<P>"Idaho must become (and remain) competitive in retaining
quality<BR>teachers.<BR>If I were a recent graduate of the UI College of
Education, I would<BR>stick<BR>around the Idaho schools just long enough to
attain experience (fatten<BR>my<BR>resume') and move on to a more lucrative
school district, say . . . in<BR>California . . . or Washington."<BR></P>
<P>The thing is, that is the OPPOSITE of what happens. Looking at local hires
in the school district just this year (in the School District newsletter I
just recieved) note a single hire at the junior high (the only hires listed)
were local. Perhaps you read this as well? I know my family did, and was
NOT happy. Students must move away from Moscow in order to gain enough
experience to even THINK of getting hired here. And it's not just
Moscow. </P>
<P>When I graduated from the UI College of Education in May 2003, ONE job was
open in North Central Idaho. ONE. And it was at Bovill Elementary.
The second closest was a music education teacher in Avery, ID. Getting
my point?<BR><BR>JC (MHS '99, UI '03)</P><BR><BR><BR>
