Our local schools had 300 applicants for two teaching positions.
Rather than hire local residents with years of teaching experience, the principal chose a newly-graduated applicant who resides miles from here. But... she happened to know someone who knows the right people. I see this all the time. It's who you know, and to whom you are related.
Nepotism, cronyism, favoritism. It's a racket, it's fraught with abuse, and it's a broken system.

There is no contextual private endeavor/entity,using that formula that would be allowed to survive, based on cost structure and no public entity with the results attained or I should say lack of them should survive either...but, its the gov...so....

It would seem that public schools is the last place this type of environment should exist.

Well... Mrs. H. just got the call announcing she was not chosen for either of the two open positions. This makes three in-district experienced teachers that they have passed over.
The only option left for the school board is to now hire OUT OF DISTRICT.
Fuck this bullshit. I will be attending the next school board meeting and will demand the reasoning behind their decision - not the decision to pass over the Mrs. but the decision to go out of district for new hires.

Having come from a teacher family, we have found the districts would rather hire new out-of-college teachers for two reasons....they have the energy and the eagerness to do ANYTHING asked of them....and they do not have to be paid as much as anyone with experience.

EXACTLY!
Teaching is a profession where it seems you are punished for having experience.
I love my job, but drive 50 miles round trip to it during the school year. I'd love to move closer to home, but with 14 years experience nobody will hire me, they want the new teachers that they don't have to pay as much.
Also folks, you DO KNOW a lot of this money is going to the TOP HEAVY ADMINS~ WTH? They get paid TOO MUCH $$ and don't do enough to earn it. Some of that money should go to the STUDENTS, not the admins.
With all the screeching about equality there... yep.Our local schools had 300 applicants for two teaching positions.

My father was a public school administrator in WI. When he retired, they hired some new schmuck from out of state...Well... Mrs. H. just got the call announcing she was not chosen for either of the two open positions. This makes three in-district experienced teachers that they have passed over.
