Math teacher pay doesn't add up

By Louis V. Gerstner Jr.
NEW YORK - Consider this word problem: If a nation already has shortages of
math teachers, millions of existing teachers are on the verge of retirement,
and the average graduate with a degree in math, engineering, or science can 
make
$30,000 to $40,000 more per year going to work at Dell, 3M, or IBM than at
his or her local public school, what will it take for our schools to 
attract the
quality talent they need to educate the next generation? And if we fail to
face the problem, how can we possibly prepare the next generation of 
scientists,
engineers, mathematicians, and computer programmers?
