Hello All,
I do see the question in multiple threads in BTG but still can't find any explanation for my query. Please Help.
Toughened hiring standards have not been the primary cause of the present staffing shortage in public
schools. The shortage of teachers is primarily caused by the fact that in recent years teachers have not experienced any improvements in working conditions and their salaries have not kept pace with salaries in other professions.
Which of the following, if true, would most support the claims above?
A. Many teachers already in the profession would not have been hired under the new hiring standards.
B. Today more teachers are entering the profession with a higher educational level than in the past.
C. Some teachers have cited higher standards for hiring as a reason for the current staffing shortage.
D. Many teachers have cited low pay and lack of professional freedom as reasons for their leaving the
profession.
E. Many prospective teachers have cited the new hiring standards as a reason for not entering the profession.
Ans is D and I agree with the answer. We should be able to prove the answer from the given stimulus and we can do that for D.
My Query: how about option C.
C. Some teachers have cited higher standards for hiring as a reason for the current staffing shortage.
Content: Toughened hiring standards have not been the primary cause of the present staffing shortage in public schools. We can infer that it is one of the cause but not the primary cause. Having said that, it is possible for some teachers to cite that - higher standards for hiring as a reason for the current staffing shortage.
There is something wrong with C because it's not the correct answer. Need help to improve my way of understanding.
Thanks
