Relocated/ transferred here with fidelity. Leesville middle is supposed to be good? "Hi, I am your maph" teacher.. now, maph (math) was said by numerous teachers/admins at the school. Very different from little NH.

What? Your concerned that folks down here, in a very differenct region of the country that you relocated from, have a different accent then you are used to in New Hampshire? (Which by the way, has it's own unique accent.)
Now, please tell me I am misreading your post somehow and you really aren't shocked that folks in the South have Southern accents.
Nothing in bwolake's post conveys "shock". So yes, you are misreading that post. And I didn't realize that pronouncing "th" as "ph" was part of the Southern accent. Don't worry, bowlake. Not everyone is like that down here. Anonymity can bring out the worst in people sometimes.
Leesville Middle School is in a great location and I have heard nothing but good about it.
I had the pleasure of driving through New Hampshire two years ago going from Vermont to Maine. What a beautiful area! I hope you enjoy the mild winters of North Carolina.

If she's not surprized to hear words pronounced differently, then why post?
Oh, and yes, I've heard the math pronouced with a rather unique 'th' sound down here.....so, yeah, I'd have to say that it's a variation of a southern accent.
Hey yo, I'm from Philly and around here we go "down the suure", not to the beach and we put gaz in our cars so we can drive when our laigs hurt too much to walk.
Oh and right now I live in Bahstan and we all know what that's like. Have you seen my khakis? Can't drive my cah without them.-
Not an impediment,Vicki, Dat's the Brooklyn flavor of English, yannow.
We were on the LL crosstown Canarsie train going from 8th Ave to 1st Ave where we lived.
The conductor must have been from Brooklyn when he announced:
"Toid Avenue, Foist Avenue next.
We pulled in to the station, and I expected the sign to say "Turd Ave" not "Third Ave".
Now, my Mom was from 309 Atkins Avenue in East New York, but had no accent. Wunda why?
My grandmother (also from Brooklyn) used to talk like that!
Vicki, isn't this thread about accents?
