Schools in Miami, San Antonio Areas

We may move to one. What can I do to learn more about the quality of schools compared to here? We would chose a specific location based on schools.

Are they open? That alone probably tells you everything you need to know about the power dynamic between unions and children, that affects everything else.

Unions allow teachers to bargain for higher pay which in turn attract better candidates. I'd steer clear of states with weak unions.

That must be why California, with the strongest and best teachers, all have great schools. Oh wait, the state itself says that over half of their children don’t meet standards and that’s when they were open.

Not sure which one you want, to be proven stay at home has cost a year or more of learning, or that it didn’t matter because some schools were that terrible.

But don’t take my word for it. Look at the Democrat politicians, union leaders, and superintendents, who are sending their children to private and in person schools. Maybe they know something you don’t.

Look at a combo of teacher pay (especially compared to nearby areas), the current state of re-opening alongside the thoughtfulness of reopening plans - including masks, distancing, contact tracing), and the caliber of the schools before *and* during the pandemic. Move anywhere where at least 2/3 were phenomenal and where families are generally happy and you won't regret it. We did and we are thrilled.

CA isn’t known for having the strongest unions or for having the best public schools. I’m a teacher and from what I hear it’s a mess and has huge class sizes.

Try NY, NJ, PA, MA but even then each of those states have their share of “bad” schools and bad teachers. Unions are strong and it’s competitive to get jobs, but there’s tenure and some teachers aren’t as great after they earn that. Most are but some kind of clock out mentally.
