[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]    [quote]Define “better.”

I taught in a desirable school district in suburban Philadelphia. There were 300 applicants for my position when I left. The teachers are highly qualified (MA plus), extremely professional, and work hard to differentiate. We had to relocate to the DMV and I now teach in NOVA. Many teachers here do the bare minimum-work contract hours and not a moment more, rely on Chromebooks for core instruction, and only teach whole group. It was a culture shock. The young teachers at my current school all have an exit plan.[/quote]

Then maybe you should go back there. Hard-working NOVA teachers don't need snooty teachers from Philly of all places (read: sh*thole) putting us down.[/quote]

LOL yeah Villanova, Bryn Mawr, Haverford and Radnor. Real sh*t holes right there!!!![/quote]

Most of PA is hired by pyramid/town not at the county level. So if PP is in a higher COL district everything is rosy. Likewise if PP was in a crappy town everything looks crappy. In NOVA we have everyone helping everyone, there is variety in the student population. In PA it is completely segregated by town. Any teacher looks good when you put them in a high SES area. So the PP saw a bunch of teachers looking good because the students they taught had money.[/quote]
