Last summer I spoke with a young science education teacher recently graduated from Temple Univ. (Philly) who was just hired to teach 9th grade physical science. Her cyber charter school had 209 students assigned to her, and they get the state allotment/student as their compensation (at least $8200/year). Typically, a HS teacher would teach 5 classes/day and see about 130 students or so (many fewer in the suburbs) so they're getting an extra $650,000 over what they really deserve because they're loading her roster with about 80 extra students. Nice money for the charter if you can scam it.
