WalletHub has released a study ranking the states and the national's capital in terms of teacher-friendliness. My originating state of North Carolina checks in at 51, not surprising at all. Washington ranks highly in several categories but does not break the top 25, w hich I'm sure will shock many in the Evergreen State. Here's a list of states in which I've taught and their rankings from the study, just for fun.
North Carolina: 51
Tennessee: 41
Virginia: 05
Mississippi: 50
Texas: 29
Washington: 30
Whee! How exhilarating, right? I'm not surprised to Virginia so high on the list. I wonder if it is worth noting neither Texas nor Virginia are Common Core states?

AND eager for your help. Have a story of power, manipulation, self-interest or injustice which needs attention? Let me know and we'll let the world discover "what's that smell."
