At least a year ago there was some unhappiness in New Mexico I believe about the hiring away of experienced teachers by charters which, unaccountably, paid better then the districts. Then there's the "$125,000 per teacher" charter in New York. I wonder what kind of a response they got went they went looking for talent? Been happening for a while.
