Here's something that I would like to see. I wonder if anyone has done such a study? I know that in some locations, teachers are paid a lot more than average. In rich suburbs of big cities, I believe this happens frequently. It would be interesting to compare shortages in such well-paid locations versus shortages in places where the pay is much lower. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
