Wanted!

Not dead, but very much alive:

Charter school teacher.

Salary $125,000 plus bonuses.

Someone is finally testing the much debated question "Does higher teacher earnings result in better education?"

A charter school slotted to open in 2009 in Washington Heights, NY, is taking on the challenge.

The NY Times reports:

"I would much rather put a phenomenal, great teacher in a field with 30 kids and nothing else than take the mediocre teacher and give them half the number of students and give them all the technology in the world," said (school founder Zeke) Vanderhoek, 31, a Yale graduate and former middle school teacher who built a test preparation company that pays its tutors far more than the competition."

Wait! That means it is really two tests in one:
Firstly, will the higher salaries yield a better education? Secondly, which is better; a higher paid teacher or small class sizes?

Now we've seen the trailer. I don't know about you, but I can' wait until the reviews of the main feature.
