Best States for Teachers 2023

Wouldn't the prudent thing for a libbie to do be to skew the ratings so Florida looks like a great place to teach? So more libbie teachers (since you think all teachers are libbie) go there and help indoctrinate a state that is shifting red? Republicans always playing checkers.

 

Florida ranks 47th in pay…

And our cost of living isn’t that great. 38th (1 is best).

Just more and more libbie web sites..... or perhaps O&B is simply full of Trump. LOL

 

Gatordavis, you hear any feedback from teachers still in the biz? Their thoughts on teaching in Fl now?

 

With DeSaster as governor, the only reason we're not ranked lower is because there are only 50 states.

 

What about asking the conservative teachers who are likely enjoying the protection against a woke, libbie takeover how they feel?
Ask swampbabe? Lmao.

 

Y’all need to start a movement.

 

This metric alone would put Florida near the bottom. How can the teacher pay be this bad in a state which DeSantis and Friends assures us is wonderfully run, and is running a huge budget surplus?

Maybe if the governor didn't write so many checks to his aviation pals to ferry California and Texas's immigrants?

 

The states that are bad for teachers are states that love Fascism. They hate teachers because an educated populace is harder to control. They believe only allow white privileged children should have access to education, and make sure that education has a healthy dose of racism, misogyny, and good old MAGA Christian values. They have no moral compass. They are a tangled mass of irony in that they demand truth but believe lies, they claim to hate socialism but demand government help and money when disaster strikes, they demand safe schools but do nothing about school shootings, and they claim Christian values but ignore Jesus’ teachings, the beatitudes.

Face it, red anti education states like Florida are a mess because that’s the way the GOP wants it, and those who disagree are either part of this celebration of ignorance, or they’re dumb as a rake.

 

For the cause of a lack of interest in public education in Florida look no further than the fact that a high percentage of our population are transplants who have already seen their children graduate, and who have zero interest in promoting and funding education in their adopted state. Add to that the home grown bubbas who don't value education, and have little of it, and you have one of the worst educational systems in the western world, not just in America.

So much for family values, no?

 

I guess if folks think Florida is ranked too low, where do you think they should be ranked and why?

 

Perhaps above WV, MS, AL and CA for starters.
Why? These states are dumper fires and everybody knows it.

 

I’m very proud of Florida. The best way to fix a completely broken system is to defund it.

 

Ho hum....let's see. The average teacher salary in Florida looks like it is around 50k, in California it is in the 80s . California’s housing cost-of-living index is on par with New York’s, coming in 94% higher than the national average. Groceries are approximately 12% higher than the national average, while the utilities cost-of-living index is approximately 22% higher and we are using salary & retirement as the #1 reason? Then you have to figure Florida's pension fund is one of the country's best funded, California has a lot of pension fund debt.

Hopefully Floridas teachers have enough sense not to pay too much attention to Scholaroo's figures.

 

I think they should be ranked somewhere between Somalia and Haiti.

 

Thank you for making my point.
