    They appear to have a comprehensive set of criteria, though I'm not certain who is giving the scores. Unsurprisingly, FL did not rate very well. As a former school teacher in FL, this is very disappointing.

    Looks like Florida is ranked a little high at 50 to me. NC woefully underpays so it deserves its 46 ranking.

    You’re the guy who thinks studying micro aggressions is a good idea.
    Seems it was more likely West Virginia Ed for you pal.

    Apparently it's an outfit that helps people locate scholarships.

    College is hard – paying for it shouldn’t be
    Scholaroo helps you find your dream scholarships with none of the hassle

    It's not a post, bluke it's a website with rankings on best states for teachers. The organization has generated a number of rankings on different topics. You might find this one more favorable: Best States to Find a Job

    If you think these rankings are bs and politically motivated, let's hear your rationale. I'm open to a discussion about the validity of the rankings. Let's hear it.

    I see these fools base their figures on things like average salary and average retirement....wonder if they took into consideration the cost of living in Cal and Washington.

    It’s on you to show why this biased libbie knows anything about education across the entire country.
    You found the site. And based on ranking Florida last, which we know is shit, I already know this info came from some libbies butthole.

    I don't tend to take things at face value, but have no reason to doubt the FL ranking, esp. given the recent oppressive policy-making. I was referred to this by one of my friends who is a career educator in S FL. If I were a new graduate seeking a teaching gig, FL would not be on the list of states where I would want to teach.

    WRONG. You are doubting the rankings. That's on you, buzz. Now, critique it intelligently or get lost.

    It lacks any semblance of credibility by ranking our amazing state last.
    It wreaks of liberal media hate and bias.
