The school quality you've heard about is generally true right now--the worry is that being 46th or 48th in the US in teacher pay, a Legislature that treats teachers very disrespectfully, and actually having other states poaching NC teachers at job fairs, will cause education quality
going forward to decline. I personally know of two long-time teachers who left the profession this year; one took early retirement and one is looking for another career altogether.
