I interviewed at a smaller district a few years back and at the end of the interview, I was told that they wanted a commitment from me. They didn't want me to use their district as a "stepping stone" to get into a larger, better paying district in the area. Small schools are constantly dealing with a revolving door of new teachers who start there and then move on to greener pastures with better pay.
What if all schools had the same pay scale?
State-wide? Nation-wide? I know cost of living differs in areas, so maybe nation-wide is a stretch. What are your thoughts? I'm not sure what mine are...
