It is time to NATIONALIZE the schools!

31. It sounds similar to me to what happened in the univ. housing office I worked at

When I was in college, I worked in the housing dept. They had grad assistants acting as hall directors. The more seniority and pay the hall directors had, the more difficult building they were assigned to as director. The newer, posher dorms tended to have less behavioral problems to deal with, as well as less problems with the physical buildings themselves. They were easier to run. One needed less experience to run one of those. The older, crummier dorms tended to be rowdier and to have more problems with the physical buildings themselves. They needed someone who was more experienced, tougher, to run such buildings. Thus, the more experienced (and better paid) directors went there. Sounds similar to what the OP is saying, to me. Poorer districts often have older buildings and more challenges from the students. They are not necessarily more rowdy, as with the dorms I mentioned, but there are more and unique challenges for the poorer districts that will be better handled by more experienced teachers. Those teachers SHOULD get better pay, as they are more experienced and face a tougher job.
