If I could afford a cut in pay, I would teach in a private school.

Great article! Having less students would allow teachers to actually teach rather than spending so much time on classroom rules and structure.

Smaller classrooms, higher pay and the option to have her kids enroll with a big discount were the reasons one of my aunts decided to become a Private School Teacher.
