Steven D. Levitt Quote
In 1960, about 40 percent of female teachers scored in the top quintile of IQ and other aptitude tests, with only 8 percent in the bottom. Twenty years later, fewer than half as many were in the top quintile, with more than twice as many in the bottom. It hardly helped that teachers’ wages were falling significantly in relation to those of other jobs. The quality of teachers has been declining for decades, the chancellor of New York City’s public schools declared in 2000, and no one wants to talk about it.
