well maybe all the exiting school teachers will fill a void left in the Northeast by workers fleeing high taxes, high cost-of-living and lousy quality of life. I'm sure any teacher that is willing to relocate and put up with what everyone else is fleeing will see a nice bump in their paychecks if that is what they are looking for .... just hope it's worth it in the long run.

Problem is, the people staying behind in those states are .... teachers and other civil servants/union members who have the benefits that are driving up the taxes...sooooo
I know several teachers who have left profession altogether, but the only ones I know who moved did so because their spouse got a job somewhere else. I think if any of them move simply for more money, they will realize they are disenchanted with the profession as a whole (for good reason) and that's it's simply same **** different place and the minimal amount of raise they get doesn't make a difference.
If these people are honest it isn't just about the money. It's about what expected for the money.
And - the ones I know who left were awesome teachers. One was a teacher of the year finalist.
It does drive home the point that parental involvement is 50% of the equation in developing strong students. Also that many places (Wake County?) count too much on teachers being passionate about teaching to make up for their poor pay. It appears difficult to be financially comfortable in our area when the highest earner in a two-earner family is a public school teacher.
it's an Op Ed from Asheville. the teachers that he notes that have left his school system, that's not on the state of NC. That's on the very school board he's a member of to do something about.

In many part of North Carolina, it wouldn't be hard to imagine that the caliber of students is abysmal. Teachers have to face a disruptive, apathetic, even violent student body on a daily basis.
