 To hell with this state
I grew up in CA... spent the first 25 years of my life there.

Now I've lived in WI for the past 6 years with my partner. When I first moved here, people were nice. Even though I lived in the burbs/semi-rural area.

After moving here, I worked my ass off to get a master's degree in math and to teach at the college level. Now I'm the enemy. Oh, and "merit pay" because I teach a high demand, always under staffed subject? Yeah right!

So I'll say this now. I'm outta here sooner rather than later. Especially after my partner finishes up her schooling in 2-3 years if she gets a job out of state, I'll follow along with her. Math professors are always needed somewhere. And even if it will be a non-public union state, the weather will probably be nicer.

There is also a thread going about "How do I emigrate to another country with no money or marketable skills?"

They've been having that discussion since December 2001.

Nope.

Good teachers are NEEDED everywhere be it one teaching Math  in the lower 48 States or a teacher in Alaska teaching the children of the survival skills of their Ancestors.  People in the past had to know some math to build a Kayak to seal hunt, had to know some thing about Geography to find their way back home. 

We need teachers that teach what they are skilled in, can get through to the kids that cannot grasp the concept and one must change methods to find a way to interest the kids in a subject that is way over their head written by adult teachers 15 years ago.

Math is perhaps the most important class, one cannot follow a recipe to cook, build a shelter or make clothing without it.   

Kids need hands on training in math, the old crap about how to triangulate a pyramid, PHOOY, that will come later.   Kids in shop class for carpentry and auto mechanics need to know and can be taught by teachers that throw away the book and show them hands on, then bring back the book later for more information.

Not everyone can grasp math as it is taught unless the person is eased into it with real life situation. 

Take the 25 year old job of selling cloth in a store, the clerks knew math------3/8 of a yard for $2.00 a yard. 

Today the clerks have tecnology that calucalutes that for them.  We do run into cashiers that cannot make change unless the register tells them what to give.

We NEED teachers that can and will teach the kids on the level of the child what they need to know.    Screw the text books, the kids will need them someday but to start out they need the hand, eye visuals they get playing games.

Obviously a mole.

DUmmies don't get advanced degrees in practical subjects, such as math.

Yeah, you're outta there.  Just as soon as it's comfortable for you to leave.  Maybe...

 :whatever:

If it's so bad, why not just leave?  Why all of the preconditions?
