teachers in illinois make a hell of a lot more money than texas teachers....you don't get a better teacher when you pay more money. you just end up with a bankrupt state and unfunded pension.
my wife is a texas teacher who worked her tail off. she loved teaching and didn't do it to get rich. she won't teach up here in illinois due to the ridiculous unions they have up here.
Your wife is an angel. Tell her to help us take back our schools from the leftists. There are many groups and foundations supporting people just like her to lecture on our college campuses. Email me in the morning if interested and i will give u a long list...lol
