Just curious where people would place the state(s) they have worked in on a list. For those of you unfamiliar, the ratings are S then A-F with S tier being like an A+.

Could you Give your rating and then a bit of your reasoning?

I've only ever taught in Utah and I think its an A- . Pay isnt the best but I do feel good support, love my coworkers, and generally I don't feel that I'm drowning in bureaucracy.

Not bad

ND gets a A. Supportive of education, discipline is still allowed, Specials like music, PE, and art are still part of curriculum. Pay is ehh but cost of living is low.

Could you clarify what exactly you would like people to grade?

Teaching experience, support for teaching, etc....

It's always easier to grade with a rubric 😉

In that case, I give Illinois a solid B, simply from the perspective of the average experience of a teacher. Obviously it could vary by district.

I would have said A before we added Tier 2 to our pension system, and I would bump it back to an A if we ever improve Tier 2, but overall it's a good state for teachers.

Strong Union presence leads to better average salaries than other states, and the defined benefit pension is great for people in Tier 1 like me.

Sadly, I'm not sure an S/ A+ exists in our country.

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit?

Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

In both cases, posted 5 days apart, they were advised to find someone else as it seems their date doesn’t respect their values (case 1) or value them enough to spend money on them (case 2).

Well, just 🤯

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
