This is a phenomenon that has caught me off guard, the declining number of black teachers in Philadelphia and other major cities. The Philadelphia Daily News profiles the decline of black teachers in the city, and links a correlation between the decline and student achievement.
This is a very interesting read, and the article states specifically that black women are opting for higher paying career options such as medicine, dentistry and law. It appears that the only way to change this trend is to pay teachers more, which is something Barack Obama has been proposing, and why all black people who are registered have to vote in November.

IT IS A SHAME THAT TEACHERS DON'T MAKE NO MONEY. WOULD YOU WANT TO TEACH THOSE BAD KIDS FOR $35,000? I KNOW I WOULDN'T RISK MY LIFE.
