Job OPENINGS will change (increase) in the next year, but job CONDITIONS will not. Yes, there is a correlation.

Maybe the OP should wait to hear from some of the actual teachers for more accurate and relevant information.

To the OP: In addition to the public schools, there are also plenty of private and christian schools in the area. I'd suggest that the proportion of students in private : public schools here is higher than most areas of the country.

If you haven't heard any complaints from current teachers, you have your head in the sand. Everything Saturnfan says is absolutely true. It isn't like it's a big secret we don't have unions and tenure was eliminated. D'oh!

Thanks.

I know many teachers and state employees. NC treats its employees very poorly.
