Double Standards
Is there a double standard here? It seems that it's okay for the Turkish/International administrators and teachers to either have a "substitute license," or no license; but the American teachers (at least the majority of them) have professional licenses. And yet, they cannot seem to get into Director or Dean of Academics positions...why is that?
And we will bet that the Turkish guys are getting more money (at least on paper), because they are over here on H1B visas and have to be paid the prevailing wage, which is usually higher than the American teacher' salaries.
Here's a suggestion, because charter schools receive public funding, teachers and the public have a right to ask how much the teachers and administrators earn; so request the salary information under the public documents laws and compare salaries.
And you would think that a guy that makes about $70,000, like Engin Karatas aka Blackstone does, could get a professional license instead of a 1-year Alternative Administrative license? He used to be the Dean of Academics at Horizon Denison and did not have any type of license.
The license information was taken from the Ohio Department of Education website on May 12, 2010.

Anyone see a pattern here?
