Reply To: Are Rebbeim getting paid enough?

1. Most rabbeim are not interested in other lines of work, which is why they except low pay.
2. If the pay was too low, there would be a shortage of persons looking for jobs as rebbeim.
3. If rabbeim were better paid, tuition would rise, forcing more families to either home school or to send their children to public schools (the former might work if the community embraced it, the latter was tried in the 20th century and resulted in mass assimilation, i.e. very few Jewish kids who went to public schools remained frum).
