On LI teachers have it prety good for the most part, they make tenure, they get paid rather well and most work in prety good school districts. On the flip side NYC teachers get paid a lot less, have to make duye with less and a lot work in prety crummy school districts. SO of course most of them want out and would kill for a gig out here in the burbs.

ok but (it may be different there) here what we do to get teachers in the inner city is we give them a free education, in return for 2 years of teaching in the city. then they are free to go where ever. the hope is and it works now and then, that they will like the job or truly want to help so they will stay for a while.
we have some good teachers in the city but they tend to get run out by unruly students and worse parents.
yes many of our teachers end up in the suburb schools and what they have done to equalize the education for everyone is allow school choice so inner city kids can be bussed out to suburbs if their parents choose.
