I’d stay here based solely on what teachers get paid, because they don’t get paid anywhere near as well as PA teachers do anywhere else. I’m going to school to be a teacher, in case you couldn’t tell. ---

I’m going to school to be a teacher, in case you couldn’t tell. Part of the reason we are overtaxed is the spending in this state. Teachers that are “overpaid” is part of the spending, and like JackedUp said, that combination makes people leave. ---

And the NEA is a straight-up “D” voting booth puller because of it. You scratch our backs, we’ll vote your well-scratched back in. It’s corruption and collusion in the most gross sense. ---

But relax, I won’t be assigning homework. I will be teaching your kid either Woodshop or Auto Tech. Something your kid can take with them and use outside the classroom, at their own desire. Academic classes are a whole different animal. Kids will never use 90% of what they are taught in the real world. But tech classes can be used for the rest of their lives. ---

This area has too much to offer for it to ever fold. As much as people don’t admit it because they are too lazy to do anything exciting anyways, there is a lot of unique and fun things to do all over this area. Pittsburgh will be fine. ---

Personally I rather like it here. I moved to the Pittsburgh area from out of state and enjoy what the city has to offer. Sure the taxes seem high but overall they’re about average for the nation. ---
