• Will this project reveal that the pay structure is an unfair, self-defeating fluke of a free market that the majority intends to rectify?
  

• Is there a correlation between teacher's pay and SAT scores? ( more )
  

• Are teachers locked into this socio-economic stratum or do they also have the right to financial parity with their graduates?
