cantoresq, I think you are failing to mention 1 major point about the modern schools. They have much shorter schooldays. In my high school, English periods started at 3pm. In other words, most teachers were in our school as a second job. They all worked in public schools in the morning, earning their city benefits and pensions, then came for a second check. It is quite difficult for a private school to compete with public schools vis-a-vis teacher compensation (i.e. when there is a scheduling conflict)

That is a good point. But as I understand it, more and mroe public school teachers are unwilling to take on the second jobs in yeshivot as they once did. I think this is especially true in suburban New York areas.
