Nope, I do not live in NYC, never have and never will
live anywhere in the state of NY.

My point is this, my "typical" colleague is, and has been,
highly qualified. Using your logic, the entire teaching
profession is highly qualified.

I was born and raised in NYC -- (born in the late '40s, raised in in the 1950s). I have traveled around the country, and have had the opportunity to visit and live in a variety of communities, from "way upscale", to "da pits."

It is my observation that upscale suburban schools have much better teachers than inner city urban areas and "outstate" rural areas.

I am married to a teacher, who works in a very rural area. Her IQ is in the mid-one-thirties. She is no fool.

She is, however, based on my observation, surrounded by morons. (I include both teachers and administration in that broad sweeping judgement.)

We will be homeschooling our children.
