I know its unexplainable to someone like yourself that people do things that are not strictly financial driven. That is the part of the culture and experience, you will never get. It is certainly not for everyone, but it is unreasonable to say the education or educators are sub par.


That's contradictory to the pompous statements made by several on here suggesting going to chaminade will get their kid a better paying job, which will lead to a happier life. I guess that the low paid teachers must got there because they didn't go to a school like chaminade, because if we follow your logic, they would be working at Jericho. Cerification ensures that the teacher is competent in the subject they teach. Kind of like when you hire a lawyer,you want to know they passed the bar. Best salaries attract best employees, in general. Kind of like parents hoping their kid gets into the best possible college they can, which is also in general.
