It's all factors combined. What sane person goes into this job if they have done more that an hour of research. :(Matt.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15075326581935048045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-35707383762782074752014-07-28T11:37:23.570-04:002014-07-28T11:37:23.570-04:00You said: "The lack of career-level salary sc...You said: "The lack of career-level salary scales may well be yet another indicator that for some folks, the goal is not to attract people to teaching, but to turn teaching into a temporary job that people do for a year or two before moving on, providing schools with a cheap pensionless labor force. If that's the goal, it would appear many states are right on track."<br /><br />Yes. And almost exactly the same thing is happening in higher ed with the adjunctification of the professoriate. Kill tenure. Hire a bunch of part-time people who you don't have to pay because they have other jobs (except that for many adjuncts, their "other jobs" are more teaching jobs because they can't survive on the part-time salaries), who get no benefits, and who have little to no investment in the institution (because it has no investment in them). <br /><br />Most of us in higher ed tend to think the Education Deform movement is trickling up from K-12, but the casualization of the teaching profession is higher ed's gift to you. You're welcome.
