Getting a degree from Harvard is typically quite applauded compared to most average colleges.
I noticed that our school district recently hired a teacher who graduated from Harvard. The teacher will get the same salary as other teachers.
Would you like your kid to have exposure to teachers from prestigious universities? Do these teachers deserve the same pay or better pay?
How likely are our schools to attract more accomplished teachers if we pay them the same salary as other teachers?
Or, is getting a teacher from a prestigious university not worth while?
If you wanted to become a teacher, would you be wasting a ton of your own money if you went to a top-tier university instead of another college for your education since your pay likely won't be any better?
Do Dems end up giving us mediocrity by supporting teachers unions?

They both do the same job so they should get the same pay.

A teacher's salary is a teacher's salary. You can't have a rotating scale for every teacher who starts working. Teacher A can't get salary A because he went to an A college, while teacher B went to college B, and teacher c gets salay c, and on down. It would all get too confusing. And as it is, they are all doing the same job, so why shouldn't they just get paid the same for the same job. does it really make such a difference as to where someone went to school. Just because someone went to Harvard doesn't mean that they are that much smarter than someone who went to another school, maybe they just had more money to pay for college.

I think in this case if the teacher is willing to accept the same wages as the teachers already instated then weres the question?
Just because you went to a good University doesn't mean your better then somebody who didn't. Lots off people don't want to go to university's to far from home. I'm at one of the best University's in England but i get very poor results, does that mean I should be paid more or be hired over someone more qualified for the job but who went to a local more unknown university.
Wages should be on merit not on were your from.
The university you went to mainly just gets you the job interview, it doesn't mean you'll get a raise or that you'll do well in your career.

Make some sense!
George Bush was admitted into Harvard Grad School of Business with a 1.8 GPA from Yale.
You aren't going to retain Harvard Grads, and many other grads. They do their time, get their experience and move on. They make less an hour than babysitters per child!
People who go to the Harvard's usually don't stop with their under graduate degree, and most are not going to settle for the measly salary you pay them. Don't blame that on Unions. Blame yourself!
Someone is going to Harvard to get a Masters, spend $55,128 for 6 years, which is over 1/4 million, and teach your kids with what you pay them? Dream on!

I think the teacher who went to Harvard should be paid less. Harvard is a lot more expensive than a state college. So either they have an endless money supply and can waste money or they are not very bright and don't understand economics. And face it, if you take a particular math or science course at Harvard, your local community college or any accredited program, the content is the same (if it weren't only people from certain undergrad programs would be accepted in the Law, Medical or graduate programs)..

confident, in case you graduate from Harvards college of ed - you're able to have an benefit over all comparable applicants. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that - you will nevertheless be a "eco-friendly" new instructor with alot to assessment. State colleges are no longer something to look down upon - in fact they have some reward that non-public colleges do no longer. considering the fact that certification is a states difficulty - state colleges focus on this.

It depends more on performance than education. I know plenty of educated idiots....they know a lot, but can't do much.
