    I disagree with #2 and #9. I was born and raised in Philadelphia as well as earned my two degrees from there. But, I have to say I have a strong disdain for my hometown and the district sucks. Now, I live in L.A. The problem is that you can't afford to live here, if you teach, and some districts are very iffy to teach. Who created this list?

    I would really like to know who created this list of top ten places to teach. I have been teaching in Las Vegas for 4 years. Yes, there are always plenty of teaching jobs each year. But ask yourself why. I have seen many teachers who move here from all over the country only to return as soon as they can. There are many drawbacks to teaching in Las Vegas. First of all, many single teachers cannot afford the cost of a rental on the salary they are offered here. The rate of turn-over in this district is amazing. I myself am out of here this summer.

    It is so satisfying to to know that there are real teachers among us who desire to see change,the kind of change which will accommodate the best pedagogues from around the world ,especially third world countries. Every calibre of teacher in this equation would be empowered to go to another dimension in whetting the appetite of their clients.

    I'm looking forward that the Board of Education will sponsors more highly qualified teachers from the less developed countries, specifically Philippines. I second the motion with Pantaleon wish that more direct teaching job orders or exchange program for deserving teachers.

    Let the board help those from less developed nations by exposing them more to teaching in developed nations through either exchange programs or direct employment.This will go a long way in bringing about equality in the whole system .

    I lived in DC once, but in a different profession. My long hours did not allow me the luxury of enjoying the social aspects of the city. I may give it a shot again once I get my certification in order.
