Is this due to a cost-benefit analysis?

Are the preponderance of the people in those schools unable to benefit from the teaching? Is the money better spent elsewhere? Are these teachers more advantageously positioned elsewhere?

see the post on the shortage of children in europe on the front page...

Physics is against her religion.

Probably many think they are physic teachers who blog on the Drudge Retort.

Larry never even got around to spelling the subject correctly.

Say Zatoichi, are you a "physics" user? If so, you must be a regular fellow now.

What's your specialty? Milk of Magnesia? Ex Lax? What?

Not real bright, are you?

my pops has a phd in physics

but we're american not brit

Simple soultion -- We import mediocre graduate physics students from those very large countries China, India and Indonesia, and then give them visas to teach physics here in the West. The upside, they'll work for a lot less than mediocre US physics teachers (or English teachers paid to teach physics). The downside -- They might write home and tell their fellow countrymen just how scientifically illiterate most of their American stuents really are.
