I know there are many terrific school districts out there, not burdened with the heavy NEA yoke. However, for many parts of the country the NEA yoke rests heavily upon the district shoulders, having a negative affect on teachers, students and families. That is how it is where I live in California.
thank you for that is ALL I was trying to do.
I thought I had acknowleged that - if I didn't please consider this note as such.
If there is a chokehold by the NEA in this district they have done a dang good job covering it up....because I haven't seen it........but the hold was so obvious in Delaware as to be impossible to miss. That is part of the reason schools in Delaware (not all but most) are awful.
A good school district was among the top priorities in choosing where to move ......along with cost of living and housing affordability/availability.
