Do Public Schools Hire the Best Applicants?
尽管教师岗位求职者过剩，但学业成绩优秀的求职者并未获得更多录用机会，这可能源于公立教育缺乏竞争压力，政策需同时考虑供需双方的激励。
Despite a surplus of candidates for most teaching jobs, a strong academic record does little for an applicants job prospects. This does not appear to result from lukewarm interest on the part of such applicants or choosiness about the positions they accept. Administrators' lack of interest in these candidates may reflect the weakness of competitive pressures in public education. Policies intended to improve teacher quality need to consider incentives on both the demand and supply sides of the market.
