I belive that either D.C. or Atlanta is where I will be teaching ,assuming that I do not teach in California. So it would be great if some of the teachers out there in these areas could tell me more about the schools they teach at, the cities itself and the cost of living. Also it would be great if you could add me to your friends list.. Thanks!
