    While this may be true in some circumstances, the reverse is also
    true. Some schools ONLY hire teachers with advanced degrees,
    because they don't have to pay for them to take classes for that
    M.Ed. Also, a school's report card looks better if a higher
    percentage of the teachers have advanced degrees. There were a
    total of 5 people hired at my school when I received my job offer,
    and guess what...all 5 have Masters degrees.
