Typically they are less qualified. The difference between private schools and public schools is that private schools have a better quality of student by far and far more flexibility to respond to problems with students.

Private school teachers make considerably less money too.

Don't forget that when private schools have a more "capable" crop of students to work with, they can devote more time to actually teaching and less time to baby sitting and breaking up drug deals and stopping them from humping each other like dogs in the hallway...

Let me guess. We know that public school teachers are better based on standards set by the government?

Yes, and they should in general because they don't usually have to deal with the sort of special IEPs and range of student disabilities and behavioral disorders. They can also rely on administrations that are more responsive to both student issues and parental interference.

To be fair, the only reason most public school teachers have degrees beyond bachelor's degrees is because a) they get reimbursed for continuing education costs, and b) they get more money for a higher degree because the union doesn't let performance play much of a factor in compensation.

This. My Mom had her "Masters + 40" solely for the purpose of getting to the top of the teachers wage scale.

The thing about private schools is there is tremendous diversity.


The private high school I went to, 30% of the teachers had PhDs. Most of them had been teaching for decades. Many of them had taught at the university level in some craphole and then moved to my school because of the location.


Then there's the (often religious) private school where math classes are taught by some 23 year old priest in training who barely made it out of high school. But then there are also religious private schools where the teachers are all extraordinarily well trained and qualified intellectuals.


There is just a lot more variety. Talking about "private school teachers" in general doesn't get you very far.


What is totally true about all private schools is that they choose their students. This has massive cascading effects that impact every angle of teaching.

Maybe, but at least they are not leeching off the taxpayer while propping up a failed , illegal system that is condemning children to a very bleak future.
