I have definitely considered teaching in an inner city school. First off, let's be real for a moment. Like Kevin stated earlier the pay is better because your atmosphere is supposedly more dangerous. Secondly, they will pay for your loans and even pay for your masters degree which is a huge bonus for us as educators. Thirdly, when my sister was teaching in the Cleveland City Schools her subjects were not standardized and as strict as the other schools of suburbia. For exampple, the science teacher was able to ask for any amount of money needed as long as it was for school purposes. He had a giant greenhouse made on the roof of the school for the students to work in before and after school.
Also, for those of you getting a BA in music and not necessarily getting a teaching certification there is such a thing as emergency certification where they will certify you for a specfic number of years to teach. Afterwards, you need to seek a teaching certificate. I do not know if this helps, but as I stated earlier I am definitely not writing off teaching in an inner city school.
